Shared Values Help Build Communities

The Patchwork Quilt
Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt
Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt
The Keeping Quilt
  After the two groups began working together, not only were they happier but they also could accomplish much more. The enslaved community shared the common goal of freedom.. Working together on this goal made them a stronger community and with each other's support gave them the knowledge and strength to become risk-takers.  This story illustrates many of the values, traditions, and celebrations shared within the Jewish community and the strength that these commonalties bring to their culture.
