You all should have been at the installation ceremony at the Shearith Yisrael Synagogue yesterday Sunday, when the new Rabbi gave an entire 1/2 hour discourse about how connected are Thanksgiving & Chanukah, both being themed on “LeHodos” = to give thanks.
Since these 2 holidays shall never coincide again. seize the opportunity to consume Turkey with Latkes.
It shall also be 11 years until next time that 2nd nite of Chanukah is a Thursday nite.
Meanwhile our Canadian neighbors shall be consuming their Thanksgiving meal next year on Chamishi Shel Sukkos with Moshe Rabbeinu, albeit in Canada not rare that Thanksgiving is on Sukkos, or last year it was on Shemini Atzeres.
