A school board in Connecticut deleted Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur from the schools' academic calendar. But after protests and criticism from the community, they're reinstating the Jewish holidays.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the Jewish faith’s holiest holidays, as days off on the schools' academic calendar.
“By removing holidays, it sends a message to Jews that we are not cognizant of your concerns, and we are not worried about your comfort in a moment where Jews are already feeling marginalized,” she tells TODAY.com. “These schools are making a statement to the community.” In November, a school board in Falls Church, Virginia, announced they will no longer close for the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Diwali, and the Muslim holiday of Eid Al-Fitr.
“I’m glad we’re back to status quo,” she says. “I’m glad that they heard us — but this should not have been an issue.” "The response is, 'Jews are white and Jews are privileged,'" Shaw Frank says."But hatred and discrimination against Jews has never been obviated by privileged economic status or white skin."
