U.S PRESIDENTS AND THE JEWS


We have established a web blog to collect information about how U.S. Presidents and the Jewish community impacted each other. As our intent is historical, rather than political, we are confining ourselves to those U.S. Presidents who are no longer living. We invite submissions from the public, with the sources of all such material clearly identified so as to be of assistance to scholars.
