The Continental Congress adopted the United States Declaration of Independence.

(The Fourth of July in 1776 coincided with 17 Tammuz 5536. What the deeper significance of this is, I don't know.)

	I thought Rabbi Freifeld was your Rebbi – SimchasTorah Jul 1 '10 at 14:54
	You are confusing me with another person (who I know very well!) – Yahu Jul 2 '10 at 3:22
	YS, its his Father correct? – YRU Jul 14 '10 at 4:32
	The person whose Rebbi was Rav Freifeld is not my father. My father's Rebbeim were Rav Hutner and Rav Ruderman, Zichronum Livracha. – Yahu Jul 14 '10 at 23:04
	YRU, maybe, if I change my user name to "Rav Yahu" you will realize that I am a generation older than you think. – Yahu Jul 14 '10 at 23:05
