About this Guide
The United States’ upcoming 250th anniversary is a moment worth celebrating, and perhaps a moment worth complicating.
This anniversary arrives at a time when the ideals that launched this country, such as liberty, equality, and the rule of law, are being debated and tested. Many of us are holding real questions alongside real pride.

The Independence Values Spark, an M² resource, invites you to sit with that tension. Through text, reflection, and questions worth asking, it explores what independence means, what it costs, and what it asks of us as Americans and as Jews.
