Individual Stories

Howard Rock -
President

As a retired professor of Early American/American Jewish History at Florida International University and the author of "Haven or Liberty: New York Jews in the New World, 1654-1865."

I am passionately interested in the American Jewish experience. I believe it is important for American Jews to stay informed about Israel.
