Reply To: Do you Celebrate American Holidays?

You have no idea how troubled the Jewish world would have been had it not been for America. So yes, I think you should observe or keep in mind ALL of the American Holidays. And have thanksgiving dinner for sure. If you have to go to school or work say on Memorial Day, that is not a major transgression as you can still observe and certainly many of the Jewish schools may or may not take off on certain holidays. But that said, be proud to be an American and be mindful of the observances in America.
