[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if anyone is aware, but a number of Jewish institutions RENT the public high school auditoriums for their services (at least for the first day of Rosh Hashanah and for Yom Kippur when it falls on a weekday).  The county must make decent money doing this, so maybe that is an added incentive in addition to not having to find and pay a fairly large number of subs for the total of 3 days (2 days of Rosh Hashanah and 1 day of Yom Kippur).

Either way, I'm aware it exists, but I am offended that there is this type of attitude in the county (and I know it has existed, although it's gotten more subtle, since my own mother was in school in moco).  And yes, I do feel that if there are any other extremely large religious populations in the county that their major religious holiday(s) should be taken into consideration as well.[/quote]

Why are you offended? [/quote]
I'm confused too.  I think she's offended by the OP (and people like the OP) who don't think other large religious populations should have their traditions recognized. But I'm not sure.[/quote]
