Moses Michael Hays : ウィキペディア英語版 | Moses Michael Hays
Moses Michael Hays (9 March 1739 – 9 May 1805) was an American banker, merchant, and philanthropist.〔 〕 As Boston's most prominent 18th-century Jewish citizen, Moses Michael Hays set a high standard for civic leadership and charity. ==Early life== Hays was born in New York City in 1739 to Dutch Jewish immigrants Judah Hays and Rebecca Michaels. Judah Hays took his son into his shipping and retail business, and upon his death in 1764, left him the business and largest share of his assets. Moses continued his father’s commitment to Congregation Shearith Israel, serving as second parnas (vice-president) in 1766 and parnas in 1767. In 1766, Hays was married to Rachel Myers, younger sister of famed New York silversmith Myer Myers. The couple moved to Newport, Rhode Island in 1769, where Hays continued his shipping business. Business reverses landed him in debtor’s prison but he was set free when he liquidated his assets and repaid his creditors. He immediately reestablished himself in the trans-Atlantic trade.
