Three hundred and fifty years ago, in September 1654, twenty-three impoverished Jews arrived by ship in New Amsterdam after having been expelled from Recife, Brazil. Adding insult to injury, Governor Peter Stuyvesant tried to expel them when they arrived. ONLY IN AMERICA is a series of radio programs that will show the progress of American Jews from this trickle of poor immigrants to today's thriving community of six million.

From Asser Levy, who fought for Jewish civil rights in colonial times, to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who climbed from working class roots in Brooklyn to a seat on the Supreme court , ONLY IN AMERICA will be full of stories and personalities of Jewish women and men, from the present and the past, who have achieved success in America.
