+1. Most likely an oversight. Most non-Jews probably don’t know the exact dates of Passover off the top of their head.

I hate excuses like this. It’s on every calendar. No one scheduled anything on Christian holidays. It is time to do better.

I hate this woke attitude. With all the different religions out there, if we had to schedule everything around every religious holidays, there would be very few days left to schedule anything. People will also start complaining about meetings being scheduled on the day they have a cultural event to celebrate. With all the different cultures out there, there would be even fewer days left to schedule anything.

Stop this madness.

Nope, you're wrong.

Also, many calendars autofill Jewish holidays and list them for the first day - not the first night when Jews actually start the observance.

So life is supposed to stop for everyone for 2% of the population, maybe half of whom care about the holiday anyway?

+1. I'm sorry, but in most parts of the country, observant Jewish people are less than a percent of the population. There needs to be give and take on things that fall on a weekday.

The most holy Christian holiday of Easter is always a Sunday, and Good Friday is obv a Friday and not too many work dinners happen on Fridays! That leaves Christmas. There aren't a lot of Christian holidays that affect business. There seem to be a lot of Jewish holidays. Someone in a group I'm in gets upset when our STANDING meeting falls on a Jewish holiday. Like, come on.

The only reason there aren’t a lot of Christian holidays that affect business is that the calendar is based around Christian holidays and schedules.

Well, the Western weekend is Saturday and Sunday because of the Jewish and Christian traditional days of rest.

It’s scheduled on the Christian calendar. The Jewish day of rest is not the reason. For one thing, the Jewish sabbath starts Friday night and part of the year during traditional work hours.

That's really lousy - definitely push back.

When factory owners started responding to labor movement demands for days of rest, they looked at the traditional days of rest for Christians as well as Jewish immigrants who were numerous. Add them together and you have the weekend.

The Western weekend is 100% scheduled around Christianity. Jews get a slight benefit because their sabbath happens to fall partially on the day before, but there is no way that people were thinking of the Jews when they set this up.

I will put it in perspective this way. As an observant Catholic, I am obligated to go to church 57 times this year. 53 of them are days that are already off on standard calendars (either because they are Sunday, or because it's Christmas). There is no other religion besides Christianity that gets anything close to that in terms of accommodations.

Do calendars also autofill Buddhist and Hindu holidays? What about vodou holidays?
Should they also demand that no meeting be held during these holidays?
Enough with the wokeness.
