Thanksgivukkah? ChanTHANKSukah? Tur-Lat-Key Day? #GivingTuesday
For many, the beauty of the Chanukah-Thanksgiving pairing is that it moves us away from the popular narcissistic "gimme-gimme" culture (gimme presents, gimme food) instead turns our focus outward. We find ourselves being especially thankful for the food, the family surrounding us and the blessings that uplift our lives. If only we could harness those warm fuzzy feelings and transform them into a force for tikkun. That's why I'm particularly excited about the relatively new venture called #GivingTuesday.
