<br><strong>Vol. I, Haven of Liberty, 2012 Runner-Up for the Dixon Ryan Manuscript Award presented by the New York Historical Association</strong> <strong>Best Nonfiction Book of 2012 presented by <em>Kirkus</em></strong> New York Jews, so visible and integral to the culture, economy and politics of Americaâs greatest city, has eluded the grasp of historians for decades. Surprisingly, no comprehensive history of New York Jews has ever been written. <em>City of Promises: The History of the Jews in New York,</em> a three volume set of original research, pioneers a path-breaking interpretation of a Jewish urban community at once the largest in Jewish history and most important in the modern world. <br>Volume I, <em>Haven of Liberty</em>, by historian Howard Rock, chronicles the arrival of the first Jews to New York (then New Amsterdam) in 1654and highlights their political and economic challenges. Overcoming significant barriers, colonial and republican Jews in New York laid the foundations for the development of a thriving community.<p>Volume II, <em>Emerging Metropolis</em>, written by Annie Polland and Daniel Soyer, describes New Yorkâs transformation into a Jewish city.
