I don't usually do reposts, but I was reading Prof. Jonathan Sarna's
article "Gen. Grant’s Uncivil War Against The Jew," and I was reminded of a post I did 2 years ago about how "Ulysses S. Grant donated $25 to a Yerushalmi Jew's
hachnosas kallah fund," and received a micrographic portrait in Hebrew letters in return.
