    The Touro Synagogue, founded in 1763.

    Lesson in tolerance [Providence]

    24. Dezember 2017 in den USA ⋅ ❄️ 1 °C

    Seemed appropriate to start the year with a lesson in tolerance. On Christmas Eve we visited the Touro Synagogue in Newport, RI. It's also a National Historic Site and the oldest synagogue in the country. What makes it really special is a letter George Washington wrote to the congregation in 1790 after they had written congratulating him on his election. In his letter he spelled out his belief that the United States was founded on tolerance and that people should be free to practice their own religion. This document is ranked as one of the most important in US history.

    Seems like revisiting these values will help make America great again.

    You can read the letter here:
