1) Jews sought Economic Freedom: Jews could join nearly any profession that they wanted in the United States (relative to Europe where there were numerous professions from which Jews were banned).

2) Jews sought Religious Freedom: Jews in Europe were far less able to practice Judaism without fear.

3) Europe went through many famine periods: Jews, like many other European peasantry, often-times went without food when there were famines and cold spells. They immigrated to America so that they could own their own land and provide for themselves.
