...them from parading down past Bunker Hill Monument in front of the high school. These police are funded by the Commonwealth, ironically a source of authority Charlestown patriots fought and died for two hundred years ago.

...Jews did not build impressive monuments in stone and wood, but concentrated their creative genius on constructing inspiring structures in time. Our holidays are our cultural-religious works of art. They have uplifted and inspired generations of Jews through thousands of years.
