An icon of liberty and justice

.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, DEAR AMERICA !

In honor of America's Bicentennial, Jerusalem created the Liberty Bell Garden in 1976.
A replica of Philadelphia's Liberty Bell is mounted in the center of the park.
But without the crack.

"Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof . . ." is part of the inscription on the bell and is taken from Leviticus 25:10.

Happy 4th of July to Americans and Shabbat shalom, Sabbath peace, to everyone.

  4. I didn't know that! Interesting! Let's hope that the American Nation will be reminded of what it stands for and will find their way back from a path that it has been lead to by this dreadful administration.
    Cheers, Klaus

  13. Dina, I have a similar photo that I took last week when I was in that park in Jerusalem. Glad you used in the 4th! I will have to save my photo for some other patriotic occasion.
