A moment of reflection with Rabbi Reni Dickman
There will be people missing from our Thanksgiving tables this year. Some will be absent because it is safer for them not to come, and some will not be with us because their lives have ended. For some giving thanks will be harder this year, and for some giving thanks will be even more profound. This year, instead of asking the few people at my table to say “I am thankful for…..” I am going to ask each of us to turn to someone at the table and say, “Thank you for …….” Let us acknowledge how much we have done for each other this year, and may our appreciation of each other rekindle our strength and renew our spirit.
