Latin People News LPN: Protecting Religious Freedom

Important Updates from U.S. Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos

I hope you saw the actions this Administration took on Religious Liberty Day to defend the religious freedom and First Amendment rights of every student, teacher and education institution across the country. For the first time in more than 15 years, we took action to protect constitutionally protected prayer in schools. And where students’ rights are violated, we now make clear that the law requires states to establish a clear process for students, parents, and teachers to report those violations. We also proposed new rules that protect all students’ First Amendment rights, including their right to organize faith-based groups on campus however they see fit. We also level the playing field between religious and non-religious organizations competing for federal grants.    Too many misinterpret a “separation of church and state” as an invitation for government to separate people from their faith. In reality, the First Amendment doesn’t exist to protect us from religion. It exists to protect religion from government. The First Amendment affirms our “free exercise” of religion. And we don’t forfeit that “first freedom” to anyone or in any place—especially in public schools. This Administration is—and always will be—committed to ensuring all believers have the freedom to learn, to pursue their passions, to use their talents, and to live in accordance with their faith.

Flamenco Sephardit VII  TEMPLE EMANU-EL  Miami Beach 1701 Washington Ave.   Sunday, January 26th 7 :00  P.M. Featuring a cast of international opera stars, guitarists, flamenco masters, and distinguished classical musicians.  Flamenco Sephardit The show explores the connection between Ladino and Flamenco music, two distinct cultures born in Spain.  Ladino originated from the Jews who were exiled from Spain during the Spanish Inquisition. It emerged from the songs these exiled Jews composed in their adopted homelands using their old Spanish from the 1400s. Similarly, Flamenco emerged from the cries and sufferings of the Moors, Gypsies, and Jews after they were banned from Spain during the Spanish Inquisition. Flamenco Sephardit explores similarities and differences in these two cultures. Buy Tickets VIDEO OF FLAMENCO SEFARDIT PERFORMED IN VENICE ITALY FLAMENCO DANCERS CELIA FONTA AND JORGE ROBLEDO “The message of Flamenco Sephardit has always been to bring people of diverse cultures and religions together, to remind us that we all have similar origins, and therefore should live together in peace,” said Maestro Eckstein. Jose Moreno “We are so excited to welcome the incredible Jose Moreno to the cast this year, as well as our opera star Audrey Babcock who originated the role in this show, and dancer Jorge Robledo who has an amazing chemistry on stage” The cast also features vocalists Rabbi Marc Philippe and Paco Fonta, dancer Celia Fonta, guitarists Paco Fonta and Michel Gonzalez, cellist Chava Appiah and violinist Katherine Kobylarz.   Audrey Babcock Tickets are $27 in advance and can be purchased by visiting www.flamencosephardit.com or by calling 800.515.1831.  Tickets purchased on January 26th online or at the door are $35.  VIP tickets are $65 in advance and $75 on January 26th and include seats in the first 5 rows, a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception, as well as a meet and greet with the company.

Check out some of the activities and experiences you can have at a Florida State Park and make your reservation today to discover a new hobby for a new year!     Hike the Trails Hiking can be a great way to get outdoors and explore! Some of the best hiking our parks have to offer can be found at O’Leno State Park, where there are 18 natural communities to discover along its trails. You can find sinkholes, flatwoods, sandhills, and creeks as you make your way through the park and walk alongside the Santa Fe River. Then, take a step back in time by crossing over the river on a landmark of the park: the unique wooden suspension bridge built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s! Back to top       Observe Some Wildlife Wildlife Viewing is one of the most popular activities found in Florida State Parks and at Big Lagoon State Park, it is easy to see why. A large variety of animals inhabit the park including rabbits, deer, turkeys, squirrels, and an assortment of reptiles and amphibians. What truly makes Big Lagoon a special place to view wildlife is the three-story observation tower that provides idyllic views of the coastal wetlands around you and provides an exceptional vantage point for birding. Every Florida State Park has different animals to see, so plan your trip to one today! Back to top       Be in the Water Florida State Parks offer some of the most alluring springs, rivers, beaches, and lakes you can find. Why not pick up a hobby that gets you in the water? Fanning Springs State Park is one of many state parks you can find in Florida that offer numerous types of water-based activities. Take a refreshing dip in the springs or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters to get a glimpse of the stunning underwater landscape. Then break out your paddles and take a canoe or kayak up the scenic Suwannee River! If there is a water activity you’d like to pick up this year, dive right in and find a Florida State Park near you! Back to top       Bring Your Tent or RV If you want to spend more time outdoors this year, there is no better way to do so than by sleeping under the stars. Florida’s state parks have full-facility campgrounds across the state to meet your camping needs, whether it is your first time or if you’re a seasoned camper. Colt Creek State Park is an example of one of our parks that offers exceptional camping amenities, including 27 full-facility campsites and 6 tent-only campsites nestled in the pine flatwoods. Make a reservation today and see how relaxing it can be to camp in the great outdoors. Back to top         Yearn to Learn Looking to brush up on your Florida history? There are many one-of-a-kind experiences throughout Florida State Parks offering a glimpse into our state’s past and providing rich detail about the people and cultures that lived here before. At Torreya State Park, you can take a tour of the historic Gregory House and learn the history of how this stately southern mansion came to reside in the park and the impact the Civil War had on this region.
