Recognize that in 1849 eight of the forty seven members of the Colonial Assembly of Jamaica were Jewish which probably was one of the reasons that the Assembly voted to adjourn for Yom Kippur. This Shabbat, study the 18th Mishna of the fifth chapter of Pirkei Avot, Ethics of the Fathers and learn about the reward for those who take actions that impact positively upon the masses. Print out your copy this afternoon and enjoy an especially joyous and uplifting Shabbat.
