1. Fear No Pharaoh
American Jews, the Civil War, and the Fight to End Slavery
Fear No Pharaoh examines how American Jews confronted slavery and the Civil War through the lives of six figures—Judah P. Benjamin, Morris Raphall, Isaac Mayer Wise, David Einhorn, August Bondi, and Ernestine Rose. Drawing on contemporary sources, Richard Kreitner explores competing Jewish responses—biblical defenses of slavery, calls for caution to protect communities, and fierce abolitionism—and shows how those debates shaped Jewish identity and political choices in nineteenth‑century America.
