Jews of Philadelphia saved the American Revolution

General George Washington,leading the American colonists in what seemed almost as an impossible battle against England's King George III, entered the Jewish synagogue in Philadelphia on Yom Kippur, 1777, telling the Jews in no uncertain terms that he was desperate for cash, that he could not pay the revolutionary soldiers. He asked the Jews of Philadelphia on the holiest day of the year for Jews to go home immediately and return to the synagogue with all the gold they could muster. (The Jewish religion forbids the handling of money or gold on Yom Kippur, so this was a big deed for theJews to do what Washington asked them to do.)

Led by Jewish leader Haim Solomon,the Jews returned with what was in those days $30 million in gold bullion. Some say today that would be worth $30 billion. But the fact is that the Jews saved Washington and the American Revolution on that day. By the way, the US Government never repaid the Jews of Philadelphia.

God says in the Bible "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you." (Genesis 12:3 and Numbers 24:9). This has been a guiding rule for the Christians of America who received the Jews as welcomed brothers and sisters from virtually the first day of colonization in the British Americas.

It was now the turn of the Jews to bless George Washington and the American Revolution. And the Jews have blessed America ever since. I believe that there is a symbiotic relationship between the Jews and Christians which has made America the greatest countryin the world. And it is clearly to be seen that all those countries that bless the Jews are the most prosperous and happy nations in the world,and conversely, those countries that curse the Jews are the most accursed and miserable of all.
