From Congress' discussion of declaring a day of thanksgiving in 1789:



Elias Boudinot was a delegate from New Jersey; Roger Sherman was a delegate from Connecticut.

Roger Sherman naturally associated giving of thanks to the Biblical accounts of the celebrations of thanksgiving at the original dedication of the Temple.

Chanukah means "dedication" - celebrating the re-dedication of the Temple.

(From NYT quoting Rabbi Meir Soloveitchik, new rabbi of New York synagogue Shearith Israel, which was founded in 1654.)

I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
