It's getting close to Thanksgiving and I can't help but notice the glaring similarities between Jews and Pilgrims.
For example:
*Some Jews wear big black hats; some Pilgrims wore big black hats.
*We got the heck outta Egypt because of religious persecution (and very unfair labor practices); the Pilgrims left England for the same reason.
*Every year we celebrate our freedom with a big meal - the Passover Seder. The Pilgrims started the Thanksgiving tradition as a tribute to their free lives in the New World.
*In 17th century New England, the Pilgrims controlled the media and economic empires. And the big machers now? You guessed it.
