What catholic holiday requires fasting for a full day and a full day of reflection and atonement? How do you compare the celebratory holidays to ones that require solemn reflection? I think the comparison is a true reflection of ignorance. You stated to the planners that it was a holy day, they ignored you - I would ignore them.
Uhhhh, try Ash Wednesday, the First Day of Lent & Good Friday. Until not too long ago, there was no food allowed at all, now you can have one small meal. Talk about ignorance.
Also, Easter is not about chocolate bunnies. It is the Catholics most high Holy day.
You Cannot compare ash wed and Good Friday to Yom Kippur!! Do yourself a favor and educate your self on the day before you start comparing.
You can't be serious with this comment.
Do yourself a favor and take your own advice and educate yourself on those Holidays.
I have to agree. It takes alot for me to be offended, by I find that comment ignorant and disgusting. How can you complain about your religion getting discriminated against and yet continue to post the most ignorant comments about another? If you read this thread, not one person personally said ignorant comments about Yom Kippur, down play its meaning or said my holiday means more. It's disgusting, I would never compare my religion to anyone and say Easter means more than a holiday in another religion. If anything I ask questions to educate and understand rather than make rude and insulting comments.
Also since you clearly don't know crap about my
Religion: there are Catholics that still fast for 40 days of lent. The death of Jesus is a very somber holiday. Easter is Sunday is the celebration of Jesus rising. The 40 days of lent are really important to me and I have missed put of events because of it. We are reliving the persecution and death of what we believe to be our messiah. I feel the sadness, I fast and sacrifice and I reflect on how I can be a better Christian. Easter Sunday is the celebration at the end of the. 40 days of sacrificing and reflecting. And of how I am going to become a better Christian and human because God sacrifice his son for us.
So please think next time before you assume you religion is better or make statements like that. No one has a better or more sacred religio
Christmas is not about Santa but the birth of Jesus and yes it's a celebratory holiday but its not about Santa ad Christmas trees. Also why I celebrate the day of the three kings as well.
First of all relax. That's not what I meant. I know plenty about both religions since I was raised both catholic and Jewish and my Dh catholic. What I meant was you can't compare how these holidays are observed. I know plenty of Catholics that go on with their normal routines on ash wed and Good Friday. I don't know one Jewish person that doesn't fast on Yom Kippur. I think a lot of people on here are turning this into something it's not because they are uneducated about Yom Kippur. My comment was not to offend anyone. If I did it wasn't my intent and I apologize.
First off I don't have to relax. Your comment was rude and ignorant and you continue to be ignorant after I pointed out you are wrong with your general blanket statements about some of the Christian holidays. You can twist it and try to make it seem like you didn't mean to be offensive but you were. And there are plenty of people who say they are Jewish but don't go to temple or practice. Stop trying to justify what you said. There are many different types of Christians, so claiming that your DH or mothers brothers
Son catholic doesn't mean anything. That just sounds like a person who makes a racist comment, gets called out in it and then says -"I'm not racist I have a black friend".
My mother was also Catholic and went to church maybe once on Easter. I wouldn't consider her as Catholic reference.

I am not posting this to be argumentative; I am truly curious. Don't people work on Ash Wednesday and on Fridays during Lent? Also, I thought that you just can't eat meat on Fridays during Lent. That has been my experience with my Catholic friends. Do very observant Catholics take off the entire day to attend church? Do they fast with no food or water all day?

Would I be a really nasty neighbor?
I would just say "I can't sign it, it would disrupt my observance of my holiday" and leave it at that. If people get upset, oh well you warned them in the email. I don't think it's nasty, unless you want to accommodate your neighbors and take your family someplace else for the day?

To most Christians, it SEEMS that X-Mas and Easter are a time for fun and joy and games and candy and family. (Please correct me if I am wrong). It would not be offensive if the Jewish neighbors had a party. YOUR holidays are (mostly) not about quiet reflection.
Would it be rude for me to go into a church and blare my IPOD with gangster rap? Or my loud music? Why should I stop listening to my ipod? Should I have to stop my life for the church?
So blasting music, albeit OUTSIDE someone home, it’s greatly disresespectful during this very holy day.
What I'm challenging you all to do is see WHY it’s so disrespectful for the block association to have a party on that day. Not only that it excludes the Jews, but alienates them and is disrespectful to them all in the same breath.
.
Having a block party and walking into a church during mass with music blasting are a bit different. Also your comment about our holidays being about games and candy is one of the rudest things I have ever read on this site.
Agreed. That was utterly disgusting. Just as you are claiming others are ignorant about the Jewish religion you are ignorant about my religion. And comparing basting rap in a Church to music OUTSIDE at a block party is, well stupid. How do those 2 even compare.
I do feel for the OP, the association should have looked into religious calendars to see if there were any major conflicts. But I am gl ad to read OP has cooled down a bit and will probably sign. Afte all these are your neighbors, I wouldn't "punish" the while neighborhood for something the association should have looked into.
Just to clarify, I corrected my comment about 3 responses from the original. This was poorly written, and I corrected it.
And I won't comment anymore. There are a few people who won't get it, and just don't have the capacity to truly see what we are TRYING to say as opposed to telling us how we SHOULD see it.

Not to equate one religion to another, but Yom Kippur is basically (very basically) like christians Christmas. We would never expect to have a block party on Christmas bc we would be celebrating with our families. I think we would all balk if someone tried to do something like that.
(Jewish peoples, I'm not saying that Yom Kippur is like Christmas, my husband is Jewish and I realize the sanctity of the day)

My boss is Jewish and though we do close for Yom Kippur he nor does his family fast on that day. So there you go 3 Jewish people who do "go on with their normal routines"
Except they don't, since you just said your boss takes off work. They may not fast, but do they go to Temple? That's not business as usual.

The church did change it so that practicing Catholics just don't eat meat on Fridays. But there are devout Catholics that will fast during the 40 days of lent. There are Catholics who take off of work on Good Friday to basically mourn. There are alot of special masses during lent. Just like a Muslim during Ramadan, you can't take off of work for a whole month. There are many different types of practicing Catholics, some just go to church get ashes and leave. While others will attend the full mass.

Yes religious people do.
Fridays durign lent are supposed to be fasts but over time people have lessened it. But the more observant do still fast and yes people take off for ash wed,holy thursday and good fri. That is the holiest of weeks for us.
Lent is a very somber time for Christians.

I just wanted to quote the first sentence of the paragraph above, but I can't.!
That's actually not true, we are only supposed to have one meal on that day besides having no meat.

Would I be a really nasty neighbor?
I just ran by this Block party issue with a co worker. He sits right next to me and is Orthodozx Jewish to get his opinion on it.
His view - he would never try to stop a block party because of his holiday. He said he knows that he can't do things certain days and it is jsut how life is. He knows that he (and his family) can't make lots of events that fall on Saturdays because of how observant his family is but would enver stop soemone else from havign a party.
This isn't to start or add to the drama on here just to add another view from another person.

Re: Would I be a really nasty neighbor?
Quite honestly it's nobody's business how another person chooses to observe a holiday in any and all religions. If we were all following things tooth and nail, there wouldn't be varied sects within each faith. I don't keep Shabbat. Tell me I'm not a Jew or that I don't practice Judaism and well, eh ill pray for you. Lol.

And in the same respect, if a catholic chooses not to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday but still attends mass then they too are not "going about their normal routine" as suggested in the post above.
Just to clarify, I'm not trying to diminish the meaning of Yom Kippur or the Jewish faith. Nor am I trying to go tit for tat. I just feel that the reference about lent are coming from the commercialized view point and not what the true meaning and observances are.

An Orthodox Jew might just be not as offended because they aren't typically secular. They often live in orthodox communities and the issues aren't as common. Not saying it doesn't happen but I'm not surprised with that response.

No and I thought of that when I asked but he said while he is in a more Jewish community since he has to be near a temple his actual close neighbors are not.....he said his block is very diverse.

I truly am not trying to be snarky, but this thread has many opinions on it - some who say that they are offended and some that say they are not. What does it matter at this point what your Orthodox Jewish co-worker says? He has an opinion, just like the many other people on this thread. Are you trying to make me feel bad for not feeling the way he does, because he is Orthodox? I am truly unsure of why you commented on it.

Because I was curious to what he had to say on the topic. We tend to talk about religious thing here because his life is very different and my co-workers would rather educate them selves than make stupid comments about other religions such as what has happened here.
Stone me for makngn a comment.
I'll move on.

I actually don't think I have made a stupid comment but I do truly feel your comment was to make me feel bad. And there are many ignorant people, in many different faiths unfortunately. I'm not stoning you, but I was just honestly  at why you chose to comment about what your coworker said. How do you know people who posted on this thread already aren't Orthodox?
