WORMS:Â Â Â Â
        By : Gotthard Deutsch  Abraham Lewinsky  Joseph
Jacobs  Schulim OchserÂ
Town in Rhein-Hesse, grand duchy of Hesse, Germany.
Like Mayence and Cologne, it has one of the oldest
Jewish communities in Germany. A legend relates that
the Jews of Worms were descended from the Benjaminites
who had migrated from Palestine to Germany
(Brüll's "Jahrbücher," 1879, iv. 34 et
seq.). It is possible that there was a congregation
there in the time of the Romans, but the first
historical reference is the statement that Jews from
this city visited the fair at Cologne about the year
1000 (Aronius, "Regesten," No. 149; Kober, "Studien
zur Mittelalterlichen Geschichte der Juden in
Köln am Rhein," p. 9, note 3, Breslau, 1903).

2. Famous Ancestor of President(s) George Bush Advocated a Return of the Jews to the Holy Land!
"Brit-Am Now"-1055
3. George Bush (1844) Ancestor of two presidents and Early American Restorationist-Zionist
Extract from:
"Power, Faith, and Fantasy. America in the Middle East 1776 to the Present", by Michael B. Oren, 2007, USA, pp. 141-142:
# Restorationism found its broadest antebellum exposition in an 1844 treatise, "The Valley of Vision; or, The Dry Bones of Israel Revived", by the biblical scholar and distinguished professor of Hebrew at New York University, George Bush. Denouncing "the thralldom and oppression which has so long ground them to the dust," Bush called for "elevating" the Jews "to a rank of honorable repute among the nations of the earth" by re-creating their state in Palestine. Such restitution would benefit not only the Jews but all of mankind, forming a "link of communication" between humanity and God. "It will blaze in notoriety," Bush foretold. "It will flash splendid demonstration upon all kindreds and tongues of the truth. The book was not without its critics, however. The highbrow Princeton Review denounced the "belief in the literal Restoration of the Jews [that] has for years been gaining ground in Christendom." Yet a widening sector of the American public continued to believe with George Bush -a forebear of two later presidents of the same name- in the dream of Jewish statehood.
# For Bush, as for most American restorationists, a Christian's role in reestablishing the Jewish polity was limited to prayer and, at most, providing the "carnal inducements" necessary to entice the Jews back to Palestine14. Some adherents to the doctrine, however, sought a more active role in that resettlement. They would personally travel to the Holy Land, take up residence, and prepare for the Jews' return.

Extacts:
They came largely to get away - that most simple of motives. To get away. Away from what? In the long run, away from themselves. Away from everything. That's why most people have come to America, and still do come. To get away from everything they are and have been.
And after all there is a positive side to the movement. All that vast flood of human life that has flowed over the Atlantic in ships from Europe to America has not flowed over simply on a tide of revulsion from Europe and from the confinements of the European ways of life. This revulsion was, and still is, I believe, the prime motive in emigration. But there was some cause, even for the revulsion....
Mastery, kingship, fatherhood had their power destroyed at the time of the Renaissance.
And it was precisely at this moment that the great drift over the Atlantic started. What were men drifting away from? The old authority of Europe? Were they breaking the bonds of authority, and escaping to a new more absolute unrestrained- ness ? Maybe. But there was more to it.
...The slow, smouldering corrosive obedience to the old master Europe, the unwilling subject, the unremitting opposition.
Whatever else you are, be masterless.
...America has never been easy, and is not easy today. Americans have always been at a certain tension. Their liberty is a thing of sheer will, sheer tension: a liberty of THOU SHALT NOT. And it has been so from the first. The land of THOU SHALT NOT. Only the first commandment is: THOU SHALT NOT PRESUME TO BE A MASTER. Hence democracy.
