Summary: In 1910s New York, Rivka, a young Jewish immigrant, yearns to celebrate Thanksgiving, a holiday her family doesn't understand. Her grandmother takes her to Rabbi Yoshe Preminger, hoping for his blessing. Rivka must convince the Rabbi that Thanksgiving is for all Americans, regardless of their background. Can she bridge the gap between old traditions and new beginnings, teaching even the wisest adults a lesson in gratitude and freedom?
