I am pretty sure that you recall that I don’t generally celebrate (American) Thanksgiving.  My Thanksgiving is more in line of how and when the Pilgrims created the holiday.

Thanksgiving?

I don’t generally celebrate (American) Thanksgiving.  My Thanksgiving is more in line of how and when the Pilgrims created the holiday.  That was a version of Sukot,  the harvest festival. More akin to Canadian Thanksgiving, which coincides with my holiday.  (Think about it.  What harvest would you reap in late November?)

First, one of the major change dates in my life.

It was erev Shabat.  1 week to Thanksgiving.  3 weeks to Chanuka.  Our school day was winding down.  (Fridays were short school days, so that those of us – like me- who needed an hours trip or more to get home- would be ready for Shabat that started around 5 PM.)

Unfortunately (this is my opinion), many of us are also bound and determined to wait on line for an interminable duration just to score that one sale item.

Today is Thanksgiving.  A holiday to remind us that our harvest has sustained us.  Analogous to the holiday of Sukot, which was closer in time to the secular Thanksgiving before the date was moved.  (It IS celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada, which is mighty close to the actual date of Sukot.)
