I just saw a discussion among corporate event planners where one person was upset that event organizers don’t give proper consideration to scheduling over top of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.

I can appreciate the annoyance, when I was still a practicing Christian I would never think to schedule a work thing over Easter or Christmas. We should treat others with consideration, and should be mindful of what others view as important days. But I also don’t know what each religion considers to be major, non negotiable holidays. Do you?

Another question, does it matter where the event is? (for example, in the US should less consideration be given to holidays of religions that have fewer adherents?)

    Not necessarily, there are a lot of secular Jews who still celebrate chanukah and passover, and even Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

      What is the ‘not necessarily’ to? I dont see how your comment disagrees with any of theirs.

        Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought they were saying that there are not other holidays observed by secular folks
