Croquet Day Reveries and Jewish Reform Sermon
An excerpt blends a playful croquet scene featuring a grandchild and grandmother with a long reformist Jewish sermon praising liberty and universal love. The piece contrasts personal domestic moments with a call for religious tolerance, separation of church and state, and support for American ideals, ending with Admiral Horr’s stance on Cuban independence.
