Saturday, May 16, 2 p.m.

Horizon Club auditorium 1208 S. Military Tr. Deerfield Beach, FL 33442

Did you know that George Washington wrote a letter asking for tolerance for the Jews back in 1790? According to The Jewish Daily Forward, that piece of history went missing but was eventually found in an art storage facility in an industrial park in Maryland. The letter is owned now by the Morris Morgenstern Foundation and has been on loan to the B’nai B’rith Klutznick National Jewish Museum in Washington D.C. Now, a copy of that important document will be read to those in attendance at a special event this Saturday. The Club’s Executive Director, Mary Beth Rutenis, will emcee and resident Al Sher will tell Washington’s story. A lively discussion is sure to ensue. For those who would like to attend, call Danielle in the marketing department at 954-481-2304. .
