Category: Thanksgiving

How can I possibly give thanks to God if I stumble on the thanks I give to the people most important to me?

Hanukkah has always been about thanksgiving.  

On Thanksgiving I acknowledge all that I have and pray that we will all have more to be thankful for next year.

During the first days of November, I begin to travel into my “Thanksgiving mode.” Before I ever dreamt about becoming a rabbi, this meant trying to transform the day into something more for my family. Thanksgiving was the one American holiday that made sense to me—even as a person who generally resisted thinking about the ways that life had been fulfilling.
