My delightful and bless full American Experiences a s Russian Jew. I found myself that I had to come over here to America to get a taste of the opportunities that I know I might have my chance to get a job. I had to avoid the absolute rule of the Czar, who had resulted in the massacre of many Jews in Russia. I had to come to get a share of the American way of liberty, since back there in Russia, the practice of liberty and having such as occupation was very limited, due to the corrupt rule of authorities of taking few laborers and farmers, and excluding others who are looking for jobs, despite the fact that back there, there were some big businesses and industrialists, but seemed to benefit a few people, and discriminated the Jews by the practice of pogroms, which had caused major shortages of job and food. I came to America, because unlike, Russia, there were the freedom of religion and opportunities. I came to America, despite the fact that Jews were received differently compared to others so called powerful immigrants, I came through steerage steamship that took longer weeks in the Atlantic ocean. My experience entering America was getting exposed to the rising cities of New York, Pennsylvania, and Boston, in addition to inland cites that became diverse inner cities. As I would settle with a firm life style committed to my faith and background, it helped me to ease the issue of discrimination. With the restrictive covenants, it was hard to first see the good neighborhood, so it stated with the smaller neighborhood, similar to the conditions of slums for as the beginning. I had to be part of a large Jews immigrants coming form southern Russia to settle in either New york, Chicago, Boston, or Pennsylvania with a low paid job in factories and mines. I think after the taste of the experience, the American dream is without a question something that came to symbolize moral liberty and opportunities, despite the fact that the Jews were discriminated and lived in slums with low wages, they were exposed to the cities and their jobs helped later to evolve into new large industries that would reveal a good example of the intellectual and moral character of Jews within the American Dream, that is alive to us and all optimistic liberty seeking Jews.
