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?)

    Technically, anyone could make their own religion. Although I think pagans are still not obscure enough to not plan anything on the solstices anyway.

    As a Christian, I find Easter to be the most important, followed by Christmas. However Easter kind of encompasses Holy Week (technically that’s before Easter tbf) mainly Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, the only weekdays involved as Easter is always a Sunday.
