Abraham Lincoln

It is unlikely that Rivlin’s words, or decision, will do anything to – as Lincoln put it – “bind up the nation’s wounds.”

Lincoln often championed the rights of Jewish Americans, many of whom he counted among his closest friends.

On The Lincoln Project’s website its stated mission is to “defeat President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box.”

When I entered the American army in 1965 as a Jewish chaplain, I was unaware of what Lincoln had done to ensure there could be a Jewish chaplaincy.
