Thanksgiving

Should a Jew celebrate Thanksgiving?

Since there are various Rabbinic views on the topic, and my opinion certainly doesn't count in the presence of greatness, I will add something that everybody would agree with on principle.

DOES THANKSGIVING DINNER MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON? MORE SPIRITUAL, HOLY, SENSITIVE, KIND AND DEEPER. LESS MATERIALISTIC, SELFISH, SELF-CENTERED AND GREEDY?

If it does - bi'teavon [unless you follow those luminaries who consider it a Gentile practice and thus forbid it.]. If not - I have a few other suggestions for better ways to spend your time.....

And maybe there is Kibbud Av Va'aim involved. That counts, too.

Incidentally, Jews have there own Thanksgiving day. We call it "Chanuka" [see Shabbos 21 - "Mai Chanuka....."].

Love and Blessings!:)
