Days off of school are days off of school I guess. What's Rosh Hashana about again? I probably learned about it in high school but I forget.

Jewish New Year. Huge holiday here in my town, where 40% of the population is Jewish. They actually have to make detours and close off major streets for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.

The only time that ever happens in my city is for the 4th of July parade.

No time off for Jewish holidays here except I think you don't have to go to class but you still need to do the work.

I've grown up in a very Jewish town. On Saturdays, there are tons walking to synagogues to the point that we have to be careful driving. I personally dislike Orthodox Judaism. My family's Reform, meaning we don't go to synagogue every week and don't keep Kosher. I am the only one in my family who is an atheist.

One that never did anything. My mother's mother is Jewish, so she is, so I am. Never went to Hebrew school or anything.

Now all of the ads at the top of the page are for Jewish dating sites.

There are way too many problems with Orthodox Judaism. For one, it's sexist. I'm not one of those over-assertive feminists, but I do think it is unfair that women are supposed to be almost property of men. I also do not agree with not writing, playing music, using electricity, etc. on Saturdays.

5 years of Catholic high school was bad enough for me. Not that it was a bad school, I just really got sick of the religion crap.

I never had a Bat Mitzvah. I missed out on a ton of cash, but it just wasn't worth it to me. I've been to Israel many times, but never as a religious trip or anything like that.
