A happy Independence Day to all, and to all a good day.
- From all of us here at Vocal Minority.
This is the first time I can remember when July 4 falls on a Friday, and when I will be at synagogue! I'm friends with lots of clergy and everyone seems to be doing the same thing: BBQ followed at sundown by worship services. One song we'll be singing tonight is called “Let the Heavens Be Glad,” an ‘80s favorite of the Reform Movement. The words come the book of Leviticus, and paraphrase the following words:
Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.
This, by the way, is the inscription on the Liberty Bell.
Every American, particulary every American Jews should know that the inscription on the Liberty Bell is from that part of the Bible that we share with Christianity and other major religions.
