In this episode, Yisroel Ben-Porat takes us on a tour of Rav Moshe Feinstein's various responsa (Igros Moshe E.H. 2:13, O.C. 5:20, YD 4:11-12) about Thanksgiving and uses his historical expertise to evaluate whether poskim and the general public understand the holiday's true origins.

Subsequent to this episode, the guest wrote up his ideas in a more expansive, essay format that can be found here: https://www.torahmusings.com/2023/11/rav-moshe-feinstein-and-the-history-of-thanksgiving/
