0:00

We gather together with best-selling author Harold Kushner, and a perfect blessing from poet Galway Kinnell. With music and stories for Thanksgiving, it's Giving Thanks, a Celebration of Fall, Food, and Gratitude.

Rabbi Harold Kushner is the best-selling author of "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" and "Living a Life that Matters." He speaks with warmth and eloquence about the meaning of gratitude in everyday life. Kushner also shares how his teenage son's death opened his heart to experience Thanksgiving more fully.

Galway Kinnell is a distinguished American poet, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a National Book award. He'll share several poems that make a perfect Thanksgiving blessing.
