[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every year I end up having to reschedule work meetings that I've mistakenly scheduled on Jewish holidays. I'm trying to pre-emptively avoid this for next year by dropping the 2017 holidays on the calendar now, but am confused by exactly how they work. If Rosh Hashana begins at sundown on Sept. 20th, and the actual dates are Sept. 21-22, when do people typically take off to observe? If it matters, said people are the Jewish equivalent of Christmas and Easter Catholics. ;-) Thanks for your help.[/quote] For Rosh Hashana, most Jews would take off the first full day, many the second full day, and likely a significant minority would leave work early the evening before. For Yom Kippur, most will take off the day. Many people do a dinner and services the night before and might leave work early that day. It can depend on whether they fast or not. There's really no way to be completely certain.[/quote]
