As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, questions of national identity and democratic commitment are top of mind. Jewish Americans have long grappled with these topics, navigating assimilation while encountering suspicions of dual loyalties. With the dramatic rise of immigration in the late 19th century, Jewish immigrant communities encountered heightened pressures and possibilities to exhibit American identity. In this talk, JHC Historian in Residence Madeline DeDe-Panken considers why Jews leaned into American iconography throughout the 19th and early 20th century and how such displays shaped Jewish life in America.
