This year Chanukah and Thanksgiving start the same day...


Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the horn, and the people be not warned, and the sword do come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

Chabad doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving though. They don't even celebrate Yom Ha'Atzmaut. Instead they read Tachanun on Yom Ha'Atzmaut. They have their own holiday which falls out one week before the night of Thanksgiving this year. The 19th and 20th of Kislev is the Hasidic New Year for Chabad.

This year I will be celebrating Chanukah on the evening before Thanksgiving with my Chabad Rabbi...

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14
