"One hundred thirty-five years ago today, #GroverCleveland was elected to his first term as #President of the #UnitedStates (his inauguration can be seen in the photo above). But #Cleveland’s election to the #presidency this time was not what made him notable. No, it was his #reelection in 1892 for which he is remembered in the #history books. You see, Grover Cleveland would go on to lose the 1888 election, and then be reelected four years later, joking that he had come back to win the office again on his “third try.”

But for our purposes, it was Grover Cleveland’s friendship to the #Jewish people that is especially noteworthy."
