Rabbi Mitch's
Thanksgiving Teaching
Many of you know that my favorite slogan is, "Cultivate an Attitude for Gratitude!!" Our attitude for gratitude molds and shapes our lives. Our spiritual ancestors understood this, and this is why they offered their daily sacrifices of Thanksgiving.
The Psalmist was correct when he noted it is "good for us to give thanks!!" (Psalm 92)
