Today is Thanksgiving, let us pause to express our deepest gratitude for your steadfast support of Israel. Your prayers, advocacy, and generosity remind us of the power of unity and faith in building a brighter future for the Jewish people and the Holy Land.
In this Thanksgiving edition of A Glorious Future, we reflect on the shared values of gratitude and community that underpin both Thanksgiving and Jewish traditions. Together, we’ll explore the lessons we can draw from history, prophecy, and faith as we continue to stand boldly for Israel.
Giving Thanks Through the Lens of Jewish Tradition and America’s Roots in Gratitude
Thanksgiving reminds us of the profound Jewish value of hakarat hatov—recognizing the good. In Jewish practice, gratitude is not reserved for special occasions; it’s a daily discipline. The blessings recited before meals, like Hamotzi (the blessing over bread), and the joyful celebrations of Sukkot, the harvest festival, mirror the Thanksgiving spirit of gratitude, abundance, and community.
This year, let us remember that our gratitude is deeply intertwined with our calling as modern-day Esthers. Just as Esther courageously stepped into her role, we, too, are called to express our thankfulness through bold action, prayer, and unwavering support for Israel.

From Heroes to Hypocrisy: Canada’s Forgotten Legacy
The values of a nation are reflected in its actions. During World War II, Canada stood as a beacon of courage and righteousness, stepping into the fray early, in 1939, to combat the tyranny of Nazi Germany. But today, a troubling shift has occurred—a shift that speaks volumes to Jews in Canada and around the globe about where they stand in their own homeland.
