American Jews: Don’t Celebrate Thanksgiving
By Shimon Apisdorf
Dear American Jews, This is not the year for a typical Thanksgiving, because this is not a time to be a typical American. Jew. Celebrate? Dear American Jews, this is no time to celebrate. Dear American Jews, just skip Thanksgiving this year.
It’s Not Hanukkah. It’s Something Higher.
By Shimon Apisdorf
Yes, we will kindle our menorah’s tonight, and yes those lights will glow brightly for the next eight days. We will spin dreidels, eat sufganiyot and latkes. We will celebrate and we will hold our loved ones closer and tighter than ever. Because tonight it’s not just Hanukkah, it’s something Higher.
