rest, reflection and gratitude

The USA is celebrating its 250th national birthday this year...

Under the banner of Freedom 250, the USA is running all sorts of celebrations and initiatives. Under the banner of Rededicate 250, a program of national prayer, praise and thanksgiving, on Sunday May 17 the American people will come together at the National Mall to prepare for the 250th birthday with prayer, Scripture, thanksgiving and rededication of the country as One Nation Under God. You can see more about the program at the linked website. Rabbi Meir Soloveichik is listed among the faith leaders who will be participating in the program.

And to that end, President Trump, as posted on the White House website, has called on and encourages all Jewish Americans, with Jewish American Heritage Month being now (May is always Jewish American Heritage Month), to observe a "national Sabbath" - the Shabbos of May 15-16 from sundown to nightfall, friends, families and communities should "come together in gratitude for our great nation", recognizing the sacre Jewish tradition of setting aside time for rest, reflection and gratitude to the Almighty. President Trump further calls " I call upon Americans to celebrate the heritage and contributions of Jewish Americans and to observe this month with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies. I further call on all Americans to celebrate their faith and freedom throughout this year, during this month, and especially on Shabbat to celebrate our 250th year."

Trump referenced the famous statement from the first President of the United States of America, George Washington, that said while visiting the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island in 1790 wishing for the safety of the Children of Abraham, and referenced Hayyim Solomon who helped build the nation and work for its independence among other Jews. Trump went on to say he is aggressively fighting antisemitism and religious freedom is a sacred right guiding the nation...

So, keep Shabbos for Trump on May 15... :-) .. He actually does not reference keep halachic shabbos, but rest, reflection and gratitude are great things as well....
