St. Augustine to host ceremony celebrating rabbis who stood alongside Martin Luther King Jr.

Sixty-one years ago this week, a pivotal moment in history unfolded in St. Augustine, Florida, when 16 Jewish rabbis were arrested for standing alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in a powerful protest against segregation. And on Wednesday, the St. Augustine Jewish Historical Society will remember this historic event, which marked the largest mass arrest of rabbis in U.S. history, during its 13th annual commemoration ceremony.
