Rock follows the Jews of NewYork through the Dutch and British colonial eras, the American Revolution and early republic, and the antebellum years, ending with a path-breaking account of their outlook and behavior during the Civil War. Overcoming significant barriers, these courageous men and women laid the foundations for one of the world's foremost Jewish cities.

"[] Haven of Libertyis an expertly researched book written in fluid and engaging prose. It also includes a stunning visual essay by Diana L. Linden on the material culture of the citys early Jewish community with thirty-two images. Rocks book is highly recommended reading, not just for students of modern Jewish history, but for all scholars interested in religions role in the development of American culture." (Journal of the Early Republic) ""This bold, well-researched and beautifully-illustrated history of New York's Jews (1654-1865) introduces the theme of republicanism into American Jewish history, and properly contextualizes Jews within the larger history of the metropolis. A remarkable accomplishment, Haven of Liberty will stand for years to come as the definitive history of New York City's early Jewish community." - Jonathan D. Sarna,Joseph H. & Belle R. Braun Professor of American Jewish History, Brandeis University
