[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re not comfortable, have a colleague send a note pointing out that it’s the first night of Passover. Most non-Jews wouldn’t have put it together. That would give him the opportunity to reschedule. If there isn’t such a person, then decline the dinner on account of Passover. [/quote]

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

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

Eh. We're the minority. I don't expect people to remember as it's not important to them. I have one colleague who always goes to church in the morning for Ash Wednesday and it took me a couple years to remember to check for that and not schedule morning meetings that included him on that day. He just politely told me each time until it sank in. Obviously I'm aware of Christmas and Easter but I really don't think about the other Christian holidays or the diverse practices associated with them. I don't even know how most of my colleagues celebrate these holidays; it hasn't come up. So I don't expect them to know mine either. I have no problem being proactive and speaking up for my holidays as needed.[/quote]
