"Good boy, Sparky," I said happily as I thought about eating Thanksgiving dinner and galloped around the ring on the beautiful, white and brown pony. It was raining, and the horse’s hooves made a squishing sound in the mud. Sparky whisked me around the ring, and came to an abrupt stop. I was excited to get out of the rain and let my cousins, William and Bradley, and sister, Caroline, take a turn on Sparky. As Sparky skipped up to the barn, I slowly slid off, putting my left then right foot on the
Thanksgiving is a dumb holiday, or so it could seem from Joshua Keating’s article “If It Happened There… America’s Annual Festival Pilgrimage Begins”.

From its biblical origin to its modern expression, there are little other practices of Judaism that have gathered as much attention as the Sabbath. Abraham Joshua Heschel’s The Sabbath subtitles “Its Meaning for Modern Man,” captures a series of such attempts.

Six years ago my family and I embarked on our longest journey to date. We were going to fly to the United States of America.
