By Meir Soloveichik April 27, 2017 6:08 p.m. ET Thomas Jefferson is buried at Monticello, his estate in Charlottesville, Va. The exact spot is marked by an obelisk bearing the date of his death: July 4, 1826—50 years to the day after the Second Continental Congress declared independence. Also close to the home lies a grave belonging to Rachel Phillips Levy. According to the inscription, she died on the 7 of Iyar, 5591, following a calendar used by traditional Jews. How did a Jewish grave end up in Monticello? The answer lies in the history of a family whose own story is every bit as American as that of Jefferson himself. In 1776 a Jewish patriot named Jonas Phillips fled to Philadelphia from New York with the arrival of the British fleet. A decade later, he was well-regarded in his new city, and his daughter Rachel was set to marry a Jewish gentleman named Levy. –– ADVERTISEMENT –– Benjamin Rush —a famous physician, signatory of the Declaration of Independence, and friend to Jefferson—attended the wedding. That Phillips had invited a prominent gentile to a Jewish ceremony, an act unthinkable almost anywhere else at the time, is a sign of the extraordinary freedom Jews had found in this new land.

    1r h e [J) e mr]J(J) era It RZ <R\Jt RCO) illl CO) f AmmerRcailll J lJJldaR§mm Jonathan D. Sarna In an influential volume titled The Democratization of American Christianity, Nathan Hatch proclaimed that the "American Revolution and the beliefs flowing from it created a cultural ferment over the meaning offreedom." Common people, he showed, became significant actors on the American religious scene in the Revolution's wake. Turmoil swirled "around the crucial issues of authority, organization and leadership." The tension between traditional religious values and new American values, he concluded, provoked "a period of religious ferment, chaos, and originality unmatched in American history. "I Hatch confined his evidence to the world ofAmerican Christianity, including early Mormonism. Was the story the same with respect to America's small community of Jews? We might have supposed that Jews would have been wary of religious ferment. The small size of the American Jewish community (estimates range from one thousand 2 to twenty-five hundred ); the fact that Jews were scattered over six communities (Savannah, Charleston, Richmond, Philadelphia, New York, and Newport); and Jews' centuries-old emphasis on tradition and deference would presumably have made Jews wary of "chaos and originality." They had lived through the Protestant Great Awakening without its transforming, in any discernible way, Jewish religious life. 3 The impact of the Revolution, we might have conjectured, would likewise have been muted. And yet, the more we learn, the clearer it becomes that the Revolution's impact on the American Jewish community was anything 95 96 The Democratization ofAmerican Judaism but muted.

Most of them, for political or socio-economic reasons or a combination of the two, abandoned their loyalty to the British crown and attached themselves to the Revolutionary cause. When the United States won its independence in 1783, it seemed to the Jews that the world had begun again.

The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus FULTON ET AL. v. CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT No. 19–123. Argued November 4, 2020—Decided June 17, 2021 Philadelphia’s foster care system relies on cooperation between the City and private foster care agencies. The City enters standard annual con- tracts with the agencies to place children with foster families. One of the responsibilities of the agencies is certifying prospective foster fam- ilies under state statutory criteria. Petitioner Catholic Social Services has contracted with the City to provide foster care services for over 50 years, continuing the centuries-old mission of the Catholic Church to serve Philadelphia’s needy children. CSS holds the religious belief that marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman. Because CSS believes that certification of prospective foster families is an en- dorsement of their relationships, it will not certify unmarried cou- ples—regardless of their sexual orientation—or same-sex married cou- ples. But other private foster agencies in Philadelphia will certify same-sex couples, and no same-sex couple has sought certification from CSS.
