In just a few days we will be celebrating Thanksgiving! Surrounded by food, family, and friends, most of us have an abundance of blessing in our lives. There are others who are less fortunate. As you sit down to your Thanksgiving table, the following are a few suggestions to bring some Jewish meaning to your meal.
Make a donation to Mazon– A Jewish Response to
Hunger.
Take a few moments during the meal to study some Jewish texts that relate to Thanksgiving.
In addition to the Hamotzi, take a moment to recite the following prayer before your Thanksgiving feast.
And enjoy reading some thoughts on Thanksgiving Cooking by Joan Nathan.
Happy Thanksgiving!
On a separate note, I know that many of us are concerned about the future of our local JCC. The following is the latest update from the Jewish Federation of Monmouth County.
