Should Jews celebrate thanksgiving? (4 minutes)

[Music] so this will answer the question of all the people that ask are you allowed to celebrate Thanksgiving it's coming up and people are asking this question now Feinstein was asked Can you celebrate Thanksgiving he said what's Thanksgiving that's a isad that's ish kados ish kados doesn't know what Thanksgiving is what's Thanksgiving oh they have turkey says okay you want to have turkey have turkey no problem having turkey no has nothing to do with AB want to have turkey have turkey but that's not the question we're asking we're not asking are we allowed to have turkey because you have turkey every day of the week no problem enjoy a turkey enjoy turkey every day no problem you want to boil it you want to cook it you want whatever you want you want to have a sandwich with turkey what's that's not the question you're asking you're not asking that what's the question people are really asking can we invite our non-jewish friends and family to our house or can we go to their house and celebrate Thanksgiving the in says no no says no not allowed doesn't matter whether it's Thanksgiving or it's a regular meal not allowed why there's an is of having these type of meals because Shalom you get so comfortable that you marry their daughters or their sons you're not supposed to have meals together so can you have turkey enjoy two turkeys enjoy the turkey can you have the inter Faith peace absolutely not absolutely not it's not my rule it's it's Tor so that's the real question people are asking and that question is answered already by the gar the question they asked ra Moshe Feinstein was a very different question they asked him if you're allowed to eat turkey on this day eat two turkeys you don't need to ask need for that that's the problem with sometimes people ask questions and they ask questions based on the way they want an answer so I think I told you guys this last week but it's worth saying it again someone goes to a rabbi and he says Rabbi can I um smoke in the synagogue says you crazy what are you talking about smok in synagogue this is what we're done I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry he runs away he tolds his friend look the rabbi yelled at me he said I can't smoke in the synagogue I thought maybe a little drag something I don't know it's kind of hard I he's like listen you don't know how to ask a question watch the other guy tough guy goes to the goes to the rabbi let me ask you a question when I'm smoking a cigarette can I pray at the same time to hem the Rabbi says wow what aad look at this guy what a sadik he is even when he's smoking a cigarette which is really not allowed he's still thinking about hm and doing CH and praying to him look what a sadik everyone sometimes people ask a question not because they want the qu the answer to the question they already have a certain answer in mind they want and they need somebody to sign off on it they need somebody to sign off on their and their nonsense so your question is are you allowed to have turkey enjoy two turkeys three turkeys five turkeys with the stuffing without the stuffing whatever you want are you allowed to celebrate with your non-jewish friends no are you allowed to go to the Christmas party no even if they serve you kosher food not allowed not allowed why it's against the Torah and it's a list of pro we could do a whole sh about it [Music]
