Pardon my ignorance, I have been living in Eretz Yisrael for twenty years, I do not recall the name Black Friday from my days in the USA, in fact it is only this year that I came across it in web publications. It was always known simply as “the Friday after Thanksgiving” or “Thanksgiving Friday”, when did they start calling it Black Friday and why? Did some tragedy happen then? Is it somehow related to Black September?
