Thanksgiving -- a Jewish tradition. And, as we know, a North American tradition as well. Both cultures recognize the need to thank G-d for the good in our lives, and both provide ways in which we can express our gratitude.
How can we thank G-d each day? One way is through our prayers. How do we begin each day? By reciting Modeh Ani, thanking G-d for restoring our souls to us each morning.
Consider reciting Psalm 100 (Mizmor L'Todah, A Psalm of Thanksgiving) at your Thanksgiving table this year, as it was recited in the Temple when a thanksgiving offering was made. And -- in the words of the Psalm -- may we be privileged this Thanksgiving to "worship G-d in happiness and come before G-d in joyful song."
What are YOU thankful for this year? |

Female influence is important, but sometimes unnoticed, in the Talmud. Thuis course will examine Talmudic texts and commentary in a search of lesser known women who have had a significant impact on Jewish experience. Though often overlooked, women are perhaps the most influential factor in Jewish survival and continuity.
