soon in london visit our new mississauga location of these are labelled significant religious days about which it is stated at the bottom of the page that conferences meetings work shops and other professional events cocurricular activities examstests will not be scheduled on these days the memorandum does suggest however that individ ual schools develop appropriate ways of celebrating the other 69 days but while there are people of no serious religious affiliation who would claim such a cataloguing of significant dates is like turning the school year into one endless mexican festival the importance of the list should be acknowledged all the same for instance while attending bosh hashanah or jewish new year services with my wife and her mother the morning of sept 6 it soon became apparent this was not the type of new years celebration that came with party hats booze and noise makers not unless you count the shofar the ultimately sig nificant rams horn whose resound ing yet solemn blast serves such a vital purpose in the proceedings bather it was a critical observance for a people who can trace their cul tural and religious heritage back some 6000 years and while the closing of york schools on that day caused an uproar among some it must be noted in fairness that bosh hashanah conflicts with the open ing of the school year just once every 40 years with none of the other 11 significant religious days falling anywhere near the all- important first two days of the school year except yarn kippur the holiest day of the jewish year which always follows the week after bosh hashanah it rendered unfounded the claims that other religions should be similarly indulged the hindu observance of diwam the closest of the other 1q significant religious dates doesnt come until november there was of course no request to have schools closed the next week for yom kippur but my mother-in- law a teacher with the north york board of education felt both slight ed and misunderstood when she took time off work to celebrate the vital date as she and 18 other jewish teachers at her school left the office the afternoon before yom kippur they were bid adieu by some of their peers with an almost cynical quip to have fun apparently there are many who forget that the hob in the word holiday sometimes implies just that it would appear the bottom line here is that while some people may disagree with our politically correct tendency to honor and acknowledge all cultures races and religions it is vitally important that we contin ue to guarantee freedom to observe ones own religious celebrations as he or she chooses and if that results in the closing of schools two and a half rimes every century then perhaps thats not really such a high price to pay ultimately the work
