Join us for a communal Shabbat Dinner with our Scholar in Residence, Charles Savenor. We will first enjoy a delicious meal together with new and old friends.

There will then be a lecture on “Mystery and History: George Washington’s Letter to the Jews “.

Washington’s letter to the Jews of Newport, RI creates a precedent of equality unknown to Jews during centuries of exile. However, many questions exist about the 1790 document, including who actually wrote the letter and what our first president meant.
