Benson Stone asked:
<<Should w
celebrate American holidays?>>
The answer could perhaps be found in Jeremiah 29: 7 " And seek the
peace
of the city that I have exiled you there and pray for her to
G-d,
because thru their peace will you have peace."
I would suggest that <<seek the peace>> would include celebrating
the
various holidays of the country and the concepts they stand for--July
4th
for independence, Thanksgiving to give thanx etc.
Needless to say we should abstain from frivoloty, drunkedness and
those
holidays that emanate from other religions (like Christmas which is
also a
national holiday).
