Thanksgiving & the Dust of Humanity

In this class with My Jewish Learning on our “Day of Gratitude,” Rabbi Menachem Creditor examines the complicated story of Thanksgiving through a Jewish lens. Is Thanksgiving a story of bounty and gratitude expressed by formerly persecuted minorities? Is Thanksgiving the story of taking land from its native inhabitants, one formerly marginalized group marginalizing another? Join an exploration of Thanksgiving through Jewish eyes, as we translate our gratitude into a deepened commitment to provide others a reason to be thankful.
