Benjamin Franklin pledged five pounds (worth approximately $800 in today’s dollars) in support of a synagogue for “the people of the Hebrew society in the city of Philadelphia.”

We've not been able to prove it, but believe that the poor German rebel-rousers grandfathers that signed the Bradford accord were Messianic Jews who came to America for religious freedom.....
The Jewish and African communities (as Beck has pointed out) were very much involved in the Revolution and the early economic development of the country.

We don’t worship the same God as they do. Not even close.
