"Deals with three centuries of Jewish community life in Newport, Rhode Island - and with the famous colonial synagogue in that city. It is the epic of refuge and hope, toil and achievement in the New World, which has given a haven to countless tired souls and weary wanderers of all and diversified racial, religious, cultural and national backgrounds, among them, the Jewish people. It is the story of the Jewish pioneers and the settlers and their descendants, who identified themselves fully with the New World. Reveals that the Jews have made a good and successful synthesis between their religious background and Americanism. Author was a tenth generation descendant of the founder of Hassidism." - dust jacket.
