Jewish Life In America C1654 1954 PDF Download

The Records of the Board of Delegates of American Israelites documents the life cycle of the first successful national and international relief and civil rights organization in the United States geared toward the Jewish people. Founded by reformist New York Jews, the Board worked with the newly created Alliance Israılite Universelle in Paris, and the older, more established organization, the London Committee of Deputies of British Jews to further the political and religious right of Jews in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The collection documents the Board of Delegates communications with these organizations, the Board's work in protecting U.S. Constitutional rights against a one-religion state and the Board's determination to defend the equal rights of Jews in the United States. In addition, the collection contains surveys and correspondence.
