Between Crown and Congress: New York's Jews During the American Revolution - Liberty 250® Lecture

Between Crown and Congress: New York's Jews During the American Revolution - Liberty 250® Lecture

Fraunces Tavern® Museum · Financial District

Join us for a special Liberty 250 lecture by Zachary Edinger, Sexton (Shamash) of Congregation Shearith Israel. This talk explores how New York's small Jewish community experienced the American Revolution and emerged fundamentally transformed by it. The Revolution forced every member of the community to make difficult choices. Some fled with the Patriot cause, others remained loyal to the Crown, families were divided, even as the synagogue itself continued to function under British occupation. By examining the lives of figures such as Gershom Mendes Seixas, Myer Myers, Uriah Hendricks, and the Gomez and Hays families, together with the stories preserved in Shearith Israel's ritual objects and archival documents, we gain a more nuanced understanding of Jewish life during the conflict than the familiar narrative of Patriots versus Loyalists.*
