Freedom
Just hoping that everyone (who is in the USA) took a moment today to think about what Independence Day means for us as Jews.
Without guaranteed Freedom of Religion, we might still be breaking the ice in the middle of the night to toivel. We might never have had children because we had never been to the mikvah. We might have to hide our practices from the public instead of freely speaking anonymously on a website.
So I say, thank you our founding fathers - for giving me the ability to freely practice my religion (no matter how much I complain) in this day and age.
Right on!
