This week marks 200 years since the passage of Maryland’s “Jew Bill,” a reminder that access to opportunity has not always been equal. In 1826, Maryland removed a Christian oath requirement, opening public service to Jewish and other non-Christian Marylanders. It’s a powerful example of how equity strengthens democracy. When barriers fall, everyone benefits. Communities once excluded have gone on to make lasting contributions to our state, and our diversity today reflects the progress made when fairness and inclusion are treated as core values, not exceptions. ...

Happy Anniversary Free To Hold Public Office Thanks To Mr Kennedy
Remember the Ayshes Chail and our dear family friend and your constituent who had Kennedy recognized in 1992. That in itself is a great story! Barbara Weikers Friedman Susan Weikers
In the 18th century, "prohibitions" on American Jews were primarily legal and political rather than religious or social. While they enjoyed greater freedom than in Europe, significant barriers remained until after the American Revolution. So blacks helped yall get out of prohibition
I agree everybody should have a right to make thier life better if they use thier brain or work for it one example Benjamin eidlzs is still doing business with the city and your control of the legality what’s up 15 years for designs you keep appoving and ms cumming only brings up fraud when it’s black I pointed out a few instances
What led to that point of Christianity banning Jews because they have been kicked out of everything for thier practicesI saw tonight as well Councilman Isaac Yitzy Schleifer so are we leading these American children right because history holds all truth

Always a highlight of the year to attend the @govwesmoore and First Lady’s Chanukah celebration. Governor Moore has consistently been one of the first to speak out against antisemitism, and this year his remarks addressing the horrific antisemitic terrorist attack against the Australian Jewish community were especially powerful and meaningful. ...

As Chanukah begins, Jews in Sydney were attacked for gathering to celebrate their faith.
Chanukah is about light defeating darkness, religious freedom, and the resilience of the Jewish people. Today reminds us exactly why that light matters.
This is what “globalize the intifada” looks like in real life…violence against Jews. And yet, too many still struggle to plainly condemn antisemitism.
Despite the darkness, we will not hide.
We will light our candles.
We will live openly as Jews.
We will spread light while others choose hate.
We pray for the victims, the Jewish community in Sydney, and for true peace, built on moral clarity, not silence.
The light will win. ... See MoreSee Less

Let's hope that the light will also prevail in gaza and the west bank, where israel has comdemned the population to starve and freeze and be without shelter.
Throughout history, darkness has always had its day, but light always overcomes. All those who have moral clarity should condemn this and all attacks built on blind hatred. Speak up and drown out the haters. Thank you for doing just that. #lovethyneighbor
