But I get it for public schools. While I understand it's super tough for working parents.... I figure it's really not fair if the Christian kids and their families dont have to choose between missing school and celebrating holidays but everyone else does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-school-take-jewish-andor-other-religious-holidays-off#post-2299822 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 18:47:20 +0000 Andrea 2299822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, the 2 private schools we use do not, but I know all the public schools here are closed for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-school-take-jewish-andor-other-religious-holidays-off#post-2299812 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 18:41:39 +0000 Bao 2299812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, they do not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-school-take-jewish-andor-other-religious-holidays-off#post-2299811 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 18:41:12 +0000 mrbee 2299811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last week we took off two days for Rosh Hashanah, then this week we took off a day for Yom Kippur!</p> <p>This year is the first year the NYC public schools are taking off for Eid, so that holiday is tomorrow too. That's four days in 2 weeks... seems crazy to me, but September is a nightmare for us every year as a result.</p> <p>Does your school take Jewish and/or other religious holidays off? </p>
