## Resource

With the United States commemorating its 250th anniversary, it’s worth reflecting on the unique place that the country holds in Jewish history. The American Jewish experience is unparalleled by any other country in the diaspora. American Jews were the only Jews in history that never needed to acheive emancipation in the modern era, as their equal rights and citizenship was already enshrined in the Constitution from the outset. The religious freedoms enjoyed by American Jewry enabled religious life to flourish on a scale unseen in any other place in the history of the diaspora. The greatest story of all is obviously immigration, as millions of Jews chose to make America their home while they were welcomed to its shores.
