My grandfather with his brothers were the developers of the Grand Concourse. Their company  Son-jack also built six shuls there & elsewhere in The Bronx.

I hope he would be proud that My grandchildren are growing up in Israel.

Bravo for this video. How wonderful is your storytelling.

@mrjsanchez1

I live in a neighborhood in Pennsylvania that has become mostly Orthodox Jewish, I consider it a blessing. They are very family oriented and strong in their faith in God, it is the most peaceful place I have ever lived.

Hoping for better days.

Johnson Reed Act made rising wages for American citizens possible until the immigration act of 1965.

Make a video about Jews in Argentina. Argentina has one of the largest Jewish populations outside of Israel.

May America still continue to be a home of Jews and others!

Will there be a video covering the history of Jews in Great Britain?

@Gohogswp

How about a history of the Crusades. I feel like I never get to hear that story.

@Stephen._.Chapman

Why was "God Save the King/Queen" playing in the background the whole time?

Bad Jews – A History of American Jewish Infighting
Emily Tamkin, a Jewish writer from the UK who writes about American Jewry, has recently published a book titled Bad Jews: A History of American Jewish Politics and Identities. The book’s publisher, Hurst, describes it as “A lively, thoughtful history of America’s Jews, exploring their complex relationships with national culture, identity, and politics—and each other.”
The book caused a bit of a stir among Jewish publications. JTA, for example, wrote that Tamkin “takes a different tack, tracing the history of American Jewry through the ways Jews on one side of social upheaval seek to discredit the very Jewishness of those on the other side.” The book itself focuses on what is happening in America, since “American Jewish history,” writes Tamkin, “is full of discussions and debates and hand-wringing over who is Jewish, and how to be Jewish, and what it means to be Jewish.”
So, first, we need to realize where the word Yehudi (Jewish) comes from. There is the known answer, that Yehudi comes from Yohuda (Judah), the name of the tribe that lived in the land of Israel during the Second Temple. However, there is another meaning to the word: Yehudi also comes from the word Yechudi, meaning united. This makes perfect sense if you remember that we were pronounced a nation only after we committed to love each other “as one man with one heart” at the foot of Mt. Sinai, yet, for the most part, this explanation did not receive the notoriety it deserves.
If you look at being Jewish through the spectacle of Jewish unity, as I do, then being a good Jew means first and foremost that you want to unite with all the Jews, that this is what really matters to you, your prime value. If Jewishness is about unity, then a Jew is a person who knows, feels, understands, and even spreads the idea that the most important thing is to be connected in ties of love with all the Jews, regardless of denomination, customs, political views, or any other issue that currently divides and splinters the Jewish people.
The author wrote that one of the answers she got to the question about the meaning of being a bad Jew was “someone whose conception of Judaism doesn’t have applications to the wider world.” I understand where this answer comes from. It is with good reason Jews gave the correction of the world such a pivotal place in their identity. We even gave that mission its own Hebrew term, Tikkun Olam (Hebrew for “Correction of the World”).
However, we must know what it means to correct the world, to be responsible for it, or even to care about the world. Tikkun Olam are not simply words; they imply a very specific task, and until we accomplish it, we will not be “good Jews.”
At the “inauguration” of our people, we were commanded to unite “as one man with one heart,” as RASHI interprets. Immediately after, we were declared a nation and were tasked with being “a light to the nations.”
In other words, our unity and our obligation to the world are indivisible. We cannot be a light to the nations if we are not united. At the same time, we cannot unite unless we do it in order to be a light to the nations.
When our ancestors united for the first time, under the guidance of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, they were not a biologically related group. They were an eclectic crowd that was taken by the idea that all the people should unite, and we should not succumb to our ego. This is why Abraham advocated kindness and mercy, to teach people how to rise above their self-absorption and care for one another.
Abraham was a maverick, a pioneer, a trailblazer, but thanks to him, these noble ideas are now universal. As a nation that formed out of disparate tribes and clans, it was our duty to be the living proof of Abraham’s paradigm. This is why we became a nation only after we united, and not a moment prior.
Since our inception, we have known that unity is our “secret weapon.” However, we never understood why, what was the secret of the strength in our unity. The secret is not that unity itself makes us undefeatable, but that our unity dissolves the world’s hatred toward us and turns it into respect and awe. It gives the world the example of unity that it needs so that all of humanity can unite, as well.
Not only we received a message when we were at the foot of Mt. Sinai. At that moment, the nations of the world received the knowledge that we received the calling. Since then, they have been wait

As a naturalized American citizen who was born in Havana,Cuba in 1956 and have been in America since August 2, 1956, my late parents were convinced to become American citizens by my late uncle so that they would have no problem getting Social Security and pension checks. At retirement they moved to Spain and came back because my mother was by then used to living life in America. We were among the last of the old fashioned immigrants who came here legally and my late mother and my aunt knew the most English having it being taught to them as a second language in elementary school in Havana,Cuba back in the 1930s.  I have no respect for illegal aliens demanding that we give then whatever they want. Most of them spent a fortune to be smuggled into America.
