Something more Jonathan Sacks style - like connecting TG to the Torah.

Is there a connection of Thanksgiving with the torah?

isn't there a connection between the torah and everything?
thanksgiving is about the pilgrims being thankful to god, religious persecution & religious freedom, etc. it's not that hard to connect thanksgiving to god. I could write the d'var torah myself but I'm sure someone much smarter and holier has done it better than I would do.

You might also try Rabbi Meir Soloveitchik.

But we're supposed to be thankful to God all day every day, not just on Thanksgiving....
"Thanksgiving Dvar Torah" is just a weird thing to say. It's not shabbos or yom tov l'havdil.

We get it. You don't think much of thanksgiving. No need for you to participate in this thread. Other people get what I'm asking and have been helpful. There's absolutely nothing wrong with bringing torah to the thanksgiving table.

This is exactly why I think it's problematic to celebrate. You want to eat a meal with family and thank the country ok, but thinking it's a yom tov and you should bring torah to it? That's going way too far.

How do you know that there's nothing wrong with bringing torah to the Thanksgiving table? A holiday that has Cristian roots?
We're supposed to be thankful to hashem all day every day. Do you say a d'var torah at the dinner table every day?

Lay off.
You do you and leave others to do what they want.
You're posts are not convincing anyone, they are just agitating conflict and are uncalled for.

Nobody's thinking it's a yom tov. It's a day off and we have time for a big meal where we're not in a rush like a weekday dinner, and we want to learn and appreciate some torah. Not sure why this bothers you.

We get it. You don't like thanksgiving and you don't do thanksgiving. You're not going to do thanksgiving in any form. This thread is for people who do thanksgiving. Go enjoy your day instead of causing fights.

I like Thanksgiving. I appreciate the day.
I'm just questioning the appropriateness of having a "Thanksgiving Dvar Torah". You should have a dvar Torah every day......
Will you also say yaaleh v'yavo at benching........
I'm really not interested in causing fights. I'm just asking a question. You're taking it way too personally instead of just thinking in to it.

Honestly, it's not on most of our radars. When I googled, I found material that you could probably distill.

Yeah, now that I look at it, maybe not what you want. It's more history than dvar Torah. A lot of it is appendix.
