The Jewish Americans is a 2008 PBS documentary miniseries covering 350 years in the lives of Jews living in America, beginning with the arrival of the first 23 Jewish refugees in New Amsterdam (now New York) in 1654 and ending in the present day.The central themes in this documentary are the struggles of American Jews to live in a country that often did not accept them, as well as the tug of war American Jews faced between assimilating into American culture and holding onto their Jewish heritage.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The documentary is divided into four parts: "They Came to Stay", "A World of Their Own", "The Best of Times, The Worst of Times", and "Home". It was written and directed by David Grubin, narrated by Liev Schreiber, with many interviews of Jewish Americans interspersed throughout.

Badass Israeli: When Israel was at war with its neighbors during its early years, many American Jews volunteered to fight for Israel. Many more, while staying in America, still provided financial support and military supplies to Israel to help keep it afloat.

All Jews Are Ashkenazi: Averted. Jews who came to America came from many different places, and most of the Jews mentioned consider themselves simply American Jews.

Category Traitor: Abigail Frank disowned their children for marrying gentiles. Max Blanck and Isaac Harris are more justified example, as the horrible conditions in the factory they owned resulted in a fire that killed hundreds of workers (many of whom were poor Jews).
