Book Description
Excerpt from Mordecai M. Noah, His Life and Work From the Jewish Viewpoint Born at the close of the Revolutionary War, Mordecai Noah lived through the period of American expansion and died at the time when the preliminary quarrels over the question of slavery were going on. It is interesting to note that on this latter point his sympathies were decidedly with the South. The span of his life covered a critical period of sixty-six years in the development of the new republic and Noah was one who contributed bountifully of his energy and of his talents to the welfare of the United States. Mordecai Manuel Noah was born in the city of Philadelphia, then the capital of the United States, on July 19th, 1785, several years after the war of Independence. He died in New York City, March 22, 1851. The Noah family was of Portuguese Jewish stock, and many of the descendants were in the fore in important matters of business and state. It has been asserted that his mother was descended from a disinguished family of Marannos, which left Lisbon for London in order to escape the Inquisition, and later emigrated to America.

Book Description
The life of Mordecai Noah is part of a larger story, one which might be titled "The Making of the American Jew." American Jews have become a unique community-different from other Americans, different from other Jews. The forces that shaped these American Jews were many of the same forces that shaped Mordecai Noah. To understand Noah is to begin to understand the process which transformed radically dissimilar Jews, from very different backgrounds, into the vibrant and creative American Jewish community it is today.
