Is it allowed to celebrate Thanksgiving?
Not for Jews.
Um I have David Yosef the Rishon LeZion
had [snorts] a lecture a couple of years
ago explaining that the Thanksgiving not
only has a uh uh
uh connection to Christian ideology
idolatry, but also it's considered
chukot haGoyim because they celebrate it
every year for religious reasons at the
at the same time. So, it's completely
forbidden uh for the Jews. And even the
few poskim that uh that said it would be
allowed for a Jew to to eat turkey you
know on that day, they only allowed it
to be done once in a lifetime, meaning
not to be done every year or anything
like that.
So, certainly it's not a
uh
it's not for the Jews to to celebrate.
If you want to eat turkey, you could eat
turkey any day of the year.
