A reminder for Thanksgiving. George Washington's famous August, 1790 letter

[elleng]

to the Jews of Newport, RI. He wrote that: “every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.” He continued: "For happily the Government of the United States gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens."
