Description

This unique report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. This is a briefing on faith in the public square as a good in and of itself, as a public good, and as the fruit of religious freedom. Jewish communities have been part of the square of what is now the United States at least since the 1650s. This past Saturday, a man targeted and killed 11 of our Jewish brothers and sisters in the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Last night, on National Public Radio, the executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, David Shribman, remarked, "I sometimes say that this is the only community I've ever lived in in which the people who aren't Jews actually pronounce the Yiddish words correctly.'' Such fraternity reflects one of the most important exhortations in American history.

This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.
