Happy 4th of JULY from Cork, IRELAND

We may be in Ireland today but we are thinking and celebrating the U.S.

On this July 4th and Shabbat, may we be reminded of this quote from our first president, George Washington. This comes from a letter President Washington wrote to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island in 1790. It has become renowned for its powerful affirmation of religious freedom, that “everyone shall sit in safety” and you can even hear this line in the musical “Hamilton.” Today, as we think about our independence, do not forget this important moment in history. Shabbat shalom and happy Fourth of July.
