[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD’s coaches are over the top. They scream about everything and make the team a miserable experience. But my DD smiles and goes on.

Tonight is Rosh Hashanah- one of the most important holidays on the Jewish calendar. We observe and celebrate with our family in Baltimore. When my DD explained to them that she needed to leave practice an hour early, they said it was okay, but that “there would have to be consequences.” She has to Zelig out a game! For a religious holiday!

When I followed up they said that she can observe the holiday but that it doesn’t start until sunset and that she could practice until then.

She’s taking the consequence and sitting out a game, but I  furious! What would you all do?[/quote]

Your furious that your DD will miss one sports game during her childhood tbc of a religious holiday?

You said this was your most important holiday but somehow in your mind this game equals it’s importance bc you are upset your kid will miss. you need to reframe your thinking on it.

Look I grew up with devout Catholic parents and there was never a question or upset by them that I missed a practice or a game if it conflicted with church and holy days. [/quote]

This isn't like being Catholic at all nor comparable. [b] Grow up and show some respect for other religions.[/b][/quote]
You say as you disparage Catholics...[/quote]

Catholic Churches are run very differently than Jewish Services.  But, you clearly don't get that.[/quote]

That doesn't mean Jewish people should get special exceptions and privileges  not offered to other religions.   But, you clearly don't get that.[/quote]

Christians get full privilege by the school system giving days off their holidays.  Jews don't get that so they have to miss school or work.  This is an important holiday.  What this coach did was completely unacceptable.  [/quote]

There are many Christian holidays that do not get the day off of school.  [/quote]
