  one day?

  Just like we don''t believe in celebrating mothers/father''s day because it is our duty to honor them everyday in our mitzvah of honoring parents, so too thanksgiving, the way lori put it should''t only be one day a year, look for something to thank G-d for every day, if you think hard enough you will find a lot of things

  THANKS GIVING

  I think thank giving day is a very good idea, to give thanks to God for what he has done. I wish we had it in this country. Happy thanks giving day.

  It wasn't after the civil war. It was actually in the midst of it... which makes it all the more amazing.

  another Valentine for God

  Hi, I think the reality of this day, and other days that are set aside for LOVE, is that we act in each day with these deep feelings of thankfulness for all creation, for what we have, whether this is a religious invocation or not. I do believe LOVE is the ANSWER. Once we do this, we become more meditative, more giving, more socially aware, and we try to share and right the wrongs we perceive, to give to others however we can. This is about JOY. I like to celebrate the American Thanksgiving "with all the trimmings"because it's FUN and food is a way of gathering us all together. It's a creative holiday and a festive holiday. Yes I do mourn for the turkey and many of my relatives eat tofu turkey. I think the whole of this is celebratory, of bounty of all kinds, a prosperity of love, and surely we can all find this, another sunset, another handshake, even in the darkest corners.
