Arrival Day

Tomorrow is Arrival Day, the anniversary of the landing on September 7, 1654, of the first Jewish settlers in what would become the United States. Jonathan Edelstein has been organizing an Arrival Day Blogburst, and inviting all to participate: "Everyone, whether Jewish or non-Jewish, is welcome to take part in the blogburst. Those who want to participate can post on any topic having to do with Jews and Judaism, and need not do so from a Jewish point of view; gentile readers are welcome to write about their encounters with Jews or Jewish culture, or any other relevant Jewish-related subject. I will link to all Arrival Day posts." I was going to post something, but due to a lot of other things that is now doubtful. Nonetheless, I thought I'd advertise it, and encourage participation by all.
