Directly inspired from this week's Haftarah in Joshua 2 in the story of Rahab. The Founders of The United States of America chose to separate themselves from the greatest military power on earth - and on this date in 1776, openly published why. The courage and clarity it took to choose this "treasonous" path is an inspiration to every generation since - and was quoted by Golda Meir on 14 May 1948 after she had signed the Israeli Declaration of Independence! Let's feast on this concept on this 4th of July 2024 - just short of 250 years after that fateful day in Philadelphia that LITERALLY saved the entire world from falling prey to tyranny 166 years later. Huzzah!
