[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christian here. They should not have BTSN on Yom Kippur. However, I have several calendars that have been sent to the house. It used to be that the Jewish holidays were on these calendars--along with the Christian holidays. I had to google to find the dates. When I did, it had Yom Kippur on the day before as well as the night in question. What I don't get, is that FCPS should have anticipated this. Surely, there is someone who is responsible for this type of thing and should have sent out to the schools inappropriate dates for BTSN. [/quote] The jewish day starts at sun down, so our holidays always begin the night before. Calendar makers handle this different ways, but that is the why of it. You Kippur is longer than 24 hours, so it really is both evenings.[/quote]
