We are preparing for Thanksgiving — not a Jewish holiday but definitely one with all the important Jewish values from “ hoda’ah — gratitude” to “ hachnasat orchim — welcoming guests.” As you prepare for the day, no matter how your family celebrates, remember the blessings! We have heard we must say 100 blessings each day and I have also recommended getting the app (there are a few) to remember all of them. If you look for where in the Torah it says to make a blessing, the only place is where we are commanded to bless G-d after enjoying a meal. Our sages added the blessings before we eat, which is a good idea; it makes us stop and think how fortunate we are to have food to enjoy.

“The murder of Zvi Kogan, of blessed memory, is a heinous act of antisemitic terrorism. The State of Israel will utilize all available means to bring the perpetrators to justice,” said the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office and Foreign Ministry.
