Washington's troops were about to surrender to England. The troops had not been paid, it was cold and they had no shoes and no food and Washington was begging for money, he needed $300,000, but Congress had none. Haym was the head of finance so he went to his Synagogue to beg for money and the Jews loaded him down with it, Haym gave the most out of his own pocket, and the war was won. Congress tried to repay Haym and he would not accept the money, all he asked for was for his people to be remembered. So this flag and seal was created to honor the Jews that save this country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
