The rare convergence of Hanukkah and Thanksgiving, which occurred on November 28, 2013, has been dubbed Thanksgivukkah. The "menurkey," a turkey menorah, symbolizes the combination of the two holidays. These buttons were given to Religious School students at Congregation Emanu-El of the City of New York as part of their Hanukkah gift bags to commemorate this event.
