[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ridiculous. [b]Most[/b] Jews observe rosh hashanah and Yom Kippur even if they don't wear kippot outside of a synagogue. [/quote] Depends on what you mean by "most". The Pew Research Center in 2013 identified as Jewish anybody who responded that (a) that their religion is Jewish, or (b) that aside from religion they consider themselves to be Jewish or partially Jewish, or (c) that they were raised Jewish or had at least one Jewish parent, even if they do not consider themselves Jewish today. Of these people, 40% seldom or never attended Jewish religious services, 53% fasted for all or part of Yom Kippur, and 32% had a Christmas tree. http://www.pewforum.org/2013/10/01/sidebar-who-is-a-jew/ http://www.pewforum.org/2013/10/01/chapter-4-religious-beliefs-and-practices/[/quote] They don't ask whether they work or attend school on these holidays. How is this relevant? [/quote]
