Commemorate the largest mass arrest of rabbis

The Eleventh Annual Commemoration of the largest mass arrest of Rabbis in US History will take place outdoors at the Hilton St. Augustine Historic Bayfront, 32 Avenida Menendez, St. Augustine, at noon, Tuesday, June 18. This 30-minute event sponsored by the St. Augustine Jewish Historical Society, is free and all are welcome.  

On June 18, 1964, at the request of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 16 rabbis and a Reform Jewish administrator in St. Augustine were arrested and held in the St. Johns County Jail. Overnight, they wrote a letter, titled "Why We Went to St. Augustine," that will be read as part of the commemoration. 

All are welcome, there is no charge. For further information contact SAJHS at www.sajhs.com, sajhs1565@gmail.com or 804-914-4460.
