ubiquitous – Apologies for my lack of clarity. Rabbi Miller’s reference to the encyclopedia on this topic correctly coincides with Brittanica’s description of Thanksgiving (in a 20 year old edition of EB that I saw – though I’m sure nothing changed in the last few years.) The free online edition of EB, I believe, is abridged. The full version may be available by subscription.
CTLawyer – Despite it’s name, Brittanica is a fully American owned, headquarted and published encyclopedia. Its first edition 150+ years ago was in Britain, hence its name, but its been all American for well over 100 years. And by well earned reputation it is considered the most authoritative American encyclopedia.
If you disagree you can edit Wikipedia to say whatever you want it to say. 😉
