And from a secular perspecive wish you'd asked when Jews were coerced into working Saturdays and holidays?. That's not true, Jews were never coerced into working on the Sabbath. Observance may have made some jobs untenable, but that's the case today as well. Same as Sunday closure laws (miss those in a way). That's not coercion.

I understand and apologize, though there is such a thing as coercion by circumstances. It's just that this was not the main thrust of my argument.

Thank you for your insight.

Besides, I doubt JP ever posts it so he'll probably never see it anyway.

I understand. I'd suggest that coercion by circumstance is a relatively new concept. Not a Jewish thing, I'd suggest that most of our waves of immigration were triggered by opression, sometimes economic. Coercion by the circumstance Europeans were born into, circumstance they shed on arrival in America, not oppressive circumstance they faced on arrival. The letter writer doesn't get it, he's overlaying our history with an inaccurate 21st century liberal template. He'd be surprised to discover this is a nation of opportunity. Even if you can't work on Saturday, ask B&H Photo.
