E-text prepared by Suzanne Lybarger, Jeannie Howse, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "The New Land" by Elma Ehrlich Levinger is a collection of historical stories written in the early 20th century. The collection recounts tales of Jewish individuals who played significant roles in the founding and development of America, fostering a sense of both cultural identity and historical pride. Through these narratives, readers are introduced to various characters, including Jews who sailed with Columbus and those who settled in New Amsterdam, all of whom are portrayed as resilient figures striving for acceptance and belonging in their new land. At the start of this collection, the narrative introduces us to the Jewish presence aboard Columbus's "Santa Maria." The story revolves around characters like Alonzo, the ship's pilot; Bernal, the ship's doctor; and Luis de Torres, the interpreter, who engage in a poignant conversation about their struggle for safety and acceptance as Jews fleeing persecution in Spain. As they anxiously await landfall, the dialogue reveals their deep longing for a place where they can freely practice their faith and find refuge. The discovery of land brings mixed emotions, as they realize it may be the promise of a new beginning, but it also holds fears of the unknown ahead. This sets the stage for the subsequent stories that explore the contributions of Jewish settlers throughout American history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
