I would think so.
I believe that Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday, but a day to be thankful for what we have.
For the food on the table, for the shelter over our heads, and for the love from family and friends.
It all about intangible thanks, not beliefs.

Thanksgiving is a cultural or social holiday, unlike Christmas or even Halloween, which are religious. Thus many people, including Jews, celebrate it where the social feelings are strong such as in the States. In Canada, where people are more diverse, intersociality is lower (i.e. unity, patriotism, etc.) and thus it is generally not celebrated by Jews.

some do and a few do no longer. My relatives does no longer because of the fact maximum of our relatives is in Israel. it basically isn't a prepare my relatives had yet many families in our community do have fun it (the line has greater than a number of greater suitable automobiles on it!). needless to say Jews in Israel, Australia, England and so forth are unlikely to be celebrating it the two. My relatives has a greater Israeli custom i assume so we don't. Thanksgiving is an American holiday. it relatively is not xian consistent with se.

Jewish people celebrate Thanksgiving and they also have a celebration that is unique called Sukkot.
It's a harvest festival. It's celebrated earlier than American Thanksgiving and is a harvest festival.

Why not? I knew a Jewish man who had a HUGE Thankgiving celebration. They used it as a time to thank everyone for all good things. I was rather touched by it.

Americans celebrate Thankgiving. It does not matter if they are Jewish, Catholic or Wiccan.

It is not a religious holiday, it is a patriotic holiday.
