    This is the gift President Obama presented Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday (March 20, 2013). The gift is a framed wooden piece from Touro Synagogue, which is the oldest synagogue in the United States and a national historic site. On the gift is inscribed: "Every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree and there shall be none to make him afraid." The quote was taken from the letter George Washington wrote in honor of the synagogue's establishment. Photo: GPO
