This Thanksgiving, between turkey, stuffing, and the halftime show, Jews have an extra reason to give thanks: for our roots.

Sign up below to receive our Very Jewish Thanksgiving Reader just in time for the holiday — featuring three Middle Eastern–inspired Thanksgiving classics from Israeli chef Einat Admony, a Torah-and-Turkey coloring page by Jewish artist Vicky Katzman, and a primer on the Jewish roots of Thanksgiving itself. You’ll also be signed up for the Simchat Torah Challenge to keep getting meaningful Jewish content throughout the season.
