August 23, 1542.....What a day to remember!
« on: August 23, 2022, 12:06:01 PM »
August 23, 1542: Rabbi Joseph Caro completes his commentary of Tur Code.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Being male, an accident of birth. Being a man, a matter of age. Being a gentleman, a matter of choice.
