In a sea of despondency, islands of hope

In the week during which the president of the United States, addressing a rally, was cheered by his “base” for using the term “son of a bitch,” I want to call your attention to the Muslim Day Parade down Madison Avenue in New York on Sunday.  Parade organizers chose Rabbi Marc Schneier as the Grand Marshall.  

A contingent of Muslim New York City police officers marched in the parade in formation.


Everyone was proud, and the parade showed what kind of country we are, even if our president is an international embarrassment.
