Thanksgivukkah

Clip: 11/22/2013 | 8m 33s

In a rare convergence of calendars, Hanukkah and Thanksgiving fall on the same day.

For the first time since the 1800s, the first full day of Hanukkah coincides with Thanksgiving Day this year, and according to many in the Jewish community, the two holidays have much more in common than just a calendar date. They both celebrate gratitude, community, and religious tolerance.
