How did Judaism come to the US?

Answer 1

Answer:During the Holocaust Thousands of Jews escaped Nazi persecution by fleeing to countries such as Switzerland and France. Some went to England and then travelled to the US on a boat. Jews settled down across the US and have now grown to more Jews in America than in Israel. Answer:The above answer SEEMS to make sense, but there were Jews in America prior to the Revolutionary War.

Jews that fled the Nazis came on ships such as the "St. Louis." President Roosevelt didn't want to upset Hitler, as this was before the US entered the war, and so they were refused entry and turned back to die at the hands of the Nazis. So the above answer is obviously not accurate.
