Against Tyranny
Ben Franklin likened the
Fourth of July to Passover. He
proposed at the Continental
Congress that the seal of the
new United States should be an
engraving of the Israelites flee
ing from the tyranny qf Egypt
The American Revolution start
ed at the same time as the Jew
ish revolution in Egypt. The
battle of Lexington took place
in April. In January or Feb
ruary, people may resign them
selves to be slaves, but not in
April and May.
At the Continental Congress
in 1776, the speeches of two
Jews in favor of republican
government were broadcast to
the delegates by Thomas Paine.
The two Jews were Samuel and
Gideon Samuel had warned the
people against the pitfalls of
monarch and militarism, Paine
said, and Gideon, when offered
a crown, pointed to the sky and
said, “Your King is there.’’ The
Hebrew prophets were all for
Presidents. Why should a man
walk around with a crown on
his head? For one crown, you
can buy ten hats.
It is generally conceded that
the most effective speaker of the
Congress on the independence
side was John Adams who later
became the second President of
the United States. Adams was
the first President to support
the Zionist idea. He did so in a
letter to Mordec«i Manuel Noah,
the first Zionist in America. In
a letter to Jefferson, Adams
also wrote:
“In spite of Bolingbroke and
Voltaire, I will insist that the
Hebrews have done more to civil
ize man than any other nation.
If I were an atheist and believed
in blind eternal fate, I should still
believe that Fate had ordained the
Jews to be the most essential in
strument for civilization.”
Dr. Benjamin Rush, a lead
ing delegate to the Continental
Congress, said all Jews in the
colonies were Whigs, that is, all
on the side of independence.
That is a bit of overstatement.
There were Jewish Tories too,
like the beautiful and bright
Rebecca Frank of Philadelphia.
She was one of the two “Queens
of Beauty” at the famous
Meschianza of the British Mili
tary in Philadelphia. She was
something of a poetess too, and
about Washington she wrote
with scorn:
"Go, wretched author of thy
country’s grief. Patron of Villany,
of Villain’s Grief, Seek with thy
cursed crew the Central Gloom
Ere Truth’s avenging Sword
begins thy doom . . . Clinton’*
warfare is the war of God, Wash
ington shall feel the vengeful
rod.”
A girl with a good Jewish
name like Rebecca to write this!
It is plain her Jewish education
had been neglected.
In South Carolina, the first
to die in the war was Francis
Salvador. He was a southern
Paul Revere. He mounted his
horse to alert the people of the
coming of British troops. The
British egged on the Indians to
attack the whites and Salvador
was killed and scalped by In
dians.

daven in during the Revolution
ary War. The ’ Shedrih Israel
synagogue closed down when
the British came to New York
and the rabbi fled to Philadel
phia. In Newport, Rhode Island,
Rabbi Touri had to flee. In
Georgia, David Empnuel and a
fellow Georgian were captured
and given a few minutes to pray
before being shot. They man
aged to seize the free moment
to jump on their horses and
run away. Emanuel was prob
ably running to the synagogue
to say a prayer. He lived to be
come the governor of Georgia.
In Westchester the Hayes home
was set on fire by the British.
There were six Hayes brothers,
best Christian in Westchester
County.”
Hayim Solomon was the chief
aide of Robert Morris in selling
Revolutionary war bonds to fi
nance the war for independence.
The British captured him and
him to be a religious
amused themselves by
putting him on a diet of pork
chops. But Solomon had the lat*
laugh when at the end of the
war, with the Americans tri
umphing, they lifted their
glasses and made a leHayim.
