[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this caught non-jewish people by surprise as typically at this point admin/teachers know there are two days off, one for RH and one for YK, but since the RH day falls on saturday, there was no off day for them to realize "oh, we can't have it before then". Simply a case of not thinking more than anything malicious.[/quote] Plus many western calendars acknowledge Christmas eve but not Erev Rosh Hashanah/Erev Yom Kippur. So non-jews don't realize that holidays begin the night prior. [/quote] We’re not asking for anyone to learn Hebrew, just to have some basic cultural awareness. Night events should never be on Fridays. [/quote]
