Temple Emanuel of Great Neck held its annual Interfaith Pre-Thanksgiving Service. The message was strong: “We lift our hearts in praise and gratitude for the spiritual heritage of America; for freedom of altar, home and school; for the glorious tradition of a nation established and ruled by its people; for patriot souls, heroes of the spirit, loyal to Thy living word—who offered the full measure of selfless devotion that this precious legacy might be preserved to us and to our children. For all of this we offer humble thanks.”
