Jews in America

The first Jewish families came to American in 1654 and settled in the east. Starting in the mid-19th century, thousands of Jewish families began immigrating to America. Most of the Jews that immigrated were peddlers by trade. Millions of Jews were immigrating to America by the late 19th century. During the 20th and 21st centuries, Jews have become involved in every occupation in America.
