You may not think of Thanksgiving as a Jewish holiday. And while you’re not exactly wrong, what could be more Jewish than families and friends gathering for a meal and giving thanks? Exactly. So, at JewBelong, we’re all in. We hope that while you’re gearing up for the big meal you’ll take a few minutes to choose a reading or two to share during your celebration. It’ll help remind your guests that we all have a little, or maybe a lot, to be thankful for, so that they come away from the holiday with more than a turkey hangover.
Don’t miss out on highlighting the thanks part of Thanksgiving! Our new ready-to-print booklet has readings and songs to add meaning to the holiday.Family and food. What could be more Jewish?
It’s time to focus on the thanks part of Thanksgiving! Take turns sharing two (or more) things that you’re thankful for this year. Sometimes it’s easier to choose something big, e.g. your health, your new job, girlfriend or baby, and then something smaller too… like say, your sourdough starter or that season three of The Crown is finally on Netflix. Take your time when it’s your turn and don’t skimp on the details. Why are these meaningful to you? Don ’t be afraid to open your heart a little. If you do, others will too, and the connection and warmth at your table will spread faster than your cousin’s watery mashed potatoes. You can go around the table, or spice the order up a little (we like to have the person who speaks choose the next person) just to keep everyone on their toes!
Our Thanksgiving Haggadah has answers to everything. Except what to cook for your vegan daughter.

Because why use any of your precious brain cells to remember where you kept those great readings that you’ll use someday at Jeffrey’s B Mitzvah? Make an account, keep the readings there. Easy peasy. The only thing you’ll need to remember is your password, and from personal experience that’s hard enough.
Hey, can you watch the phones on Friday? We have a thing.
