Through the remarkable story of Abraham Solomon of Glover’s Marblehead Regiment, Rabbi David Meyer illuminates the often-overlooked role of Jews in the American Revolution and their early struggle for religious liberty and civic equality. Blending history, humor, and heartfelt storytelling, he reveals how Jewish patriots helped shape a nation founded on freedom. This presentation invites the audience to reflect on how honoring the past can inspire pride, identity, and connection in the present.

This program will be hybrid. Sign up for Zoom at <a href="https://tinyurl.com/M250-Jewish-Hero" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/M250-Jewish-Hero</a> or join us in person, no registration required! If registering for Zoom, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting online.

Rabbi David J. Meyer is rabbi emeritus of Temple Emanu-El in Marblehead. In his retirement he has enjoyed learning about and portraying the only known Jewish soldier in Colonel John Glover’s Revolutionary War Regiment.


This event is presented in collaboration with Abbot Public Library and the Marblehead 250 Committee. For more Marblehead 250 programs, please visit our blog at tinyurl.com/Mhead-250-Series.
