Thanksgiving stands as an opportunity for Americans of all faiths and no faith to put aside our differences and appreciate the many things for which we can be thankful.
There’s something poetic about the fall season, whether it brings red and yellow bursts of dying leaves, or juicy ripe oranges ready to pick. It’s as if it symbolizes the changing seasons in our lives.
The Pilgrims celebrated Sukkot in the New World at their first harvest, inviting their new Native American friends to join them. The Wampanoag people at that time followed neither Judaism nor Christianity. That didn’t stop them from celebrating life and harvest with their Christian neighbors, nor did it stop devout Pilgrims from celebrating with them. That celebration became what is known in America today as Thanksgiving.
