00:19Shalom, everyone. Hi, welcome to another edition of the Light Lab Podcast. My name is Eliana light. And I am here with my dear friends Cantor, Ellen Dreskin.
EEllen Dreskin
00:30Good to see you and to be with you. Hello!
EEliana Light
00:36Amazing. And Rabbi Josh Warshawsky!
JJosh Warshawsky
00:39Hello! So great to be back, as always.
EEliana Light
00:43 So great. I'm so grateful for both of you that we get to share this virtual space together. And I am so grateful for you, listeners. We're recording this after the first episode has come out. So there will be a couple episodes in between. But I just have to say, thank you so much for listening, and learning along with us. It's been really exciting to receive such positive feedback and see that you're, you know, listening, learning exploring along with us. We're really grateful. And speaking of gratitude, when you are listening to this, it will if all goes according to plan, be Thanksgiving, the American holiday of Thanksgiving, and as problematic and complicated as American Thanksgiving is, it does give us a chance to think a little more deeply about gratitude. So I want to ask our panel today, what are some favorite Thanksgiving rituals? Past or present? Ellen, why don't you get us started?

01:43I really do remember, certainly it's a family time, it was a family time growing up. And I don't want to offend any of the vegetarians in the in the room. Of which is okay. Well, of which I am one. But one of our family traditions was arguing at the end of the meal over who got to wish on the wishbone. I don't even know if people still know this tradition of two people grabbing the wishbone of the turkey.
