Throughout our history, the Jewish people has celebrated and commemorated the holy days of our ancestors. We have joyously lit our chanukiyot and spun the dreidel during Chanukah, ate matzah and retold the story of Egyptian slavery during Pesach and personally reflected upon our transgressions during Yom Kippur. Now, as modern North American Jews, our Jewish heritage has begun to share space with our American and Canadian identities as well. We eat turkey during Thanksgiving, watch fireworks boom above our heads on Independence Day and honor our parents during Mother’s and Father’s Day. Our identities have become as American or Canadian as they are Jewish.

This guide explores Jewish and Socially Just celebrations of Thanksgiving, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It also includes a section on the Super Bowl, for good measure.
