These are just a few.
Perhaps as important as any
military service Jews were able
to contribute. was the part they
played in financing the Revolu-
tion: A few contributions were
recorded such as the pledge of
3,000 pounds from Isaac Moses
to Robert Morris, the minister of
finance, or those of Aaron Levy
and Joseph Simon.
But there were also other con-
tributions never recorded: Funds
raised in Synagogues to buy food
and clothing for soldiers, and
loans from individuals to mem-
bers of Congress, to officers of
the army, and to ordihary s151-
diers.
Outstanding were the services
of Haym Solomon, the chief col-
laborator of Robert Morris in
raising the finances of the Revo-
lution, of Aaron Lopez, the fore-
most merchant of his day-in New
England, and of Moses M. Hays
of Boston.

military and financial contribu-
tion of American Jewry to
American democracy, has been
our contributions as a people in
the form of the Bible. The Puri-
tans, whose influence upon early
America was strong, took their
religion out of the Bible, which
was alive and vivid to them.
Several decades before the
Declaration of Independence,
when the Founding Fathers
wanted to inscribe one of their
most precious symbols of liberty,
they went to the Bible, to the
Book of Leviticus, and from
there they took a phrase and
placed it on the Liberty Bell
as the inspiration of American
democracy:
"And you shall proclaim Lib-
erty throughout the land unto
all the inhabitants thereof."
