Rivka's First Thanksgiving Author:Elsa Okon Rael To the Rabbi Yoshe Preminger, Sir, My Bubbeh believes you are the wisest man in the whole world, but I cannot agree with her. You have read a thousand books, but you do not seem to understand that immigrants came to America to escape from mean, wicked people who hurt them and their families. That is why the Pilgrims came and that is why the Jew... more »ish people came later. The Pilgrims were thankful and I think that we should be too. Signed by
