I voted no. It should only be one in Israel and is one in Israel. But I wouldn't be against Gentiles making it The Noahide New Year to replace January 1 because Gentile kings' reigns are counted from Rosh Hashana and the whole World is judged then whereas Jewish kings' reigsn are counted from Rosh Chodesh Nissan. But it shouldn't be celebrated the way Jews do and Gentiles should not refrain from doing things Jews are prohibited to do on it.


O.K. sounds alright to me

Yes. Rosh Ha'shana should be a world Festival to commemorate the Creation of Man. But Gentiles must not celebrate it with the same rites as the Jews. They can only rest in their own way, without refraining from ALL melachot

I think Yom Kippur should be a National Holiday. That is our holiest day as Jews just as Christmas is the holiest day for Non-Jews

Rosh Hashana can be for the world, Yomkippur is strictly for the Jews (when they got the Torah the second time and forgiven for the sins.)
The Academy of Elijah taught, whoever studies the laws (of the Torah) every day, (he) is guaranteed to have a share in the World to Come.

‏119:139 צִמְּתַתְנִי קִנְאָתִי כִּישָׁכְחוּ דְבָרֶיךָ צָרָי
My zeal incenses me, for my adversaries have forgotten Your words.
‏119:141 צָעִיר אָנֹכִי וְנִבְזֶה פִּקֻּדֶיךָ, לֹא שָׁכָחְתִּי.
 I am young and despised; I have not forgotten Your precepts.

" A fool does not realize, and an unwise person does not understand this (i.e. the following:) When the wicked bloom like grass, and the evildoers blossom (i.e. when they seem extremly successful), it is to destroy them forever (i.e. they are rewarded for their few good deeds in this World, and they will have no portion in the World to Come!)

Easter is the holiest for Christians, not Christmas. But the Bolshevik media makes more of a deal out of Christmas.



My mistake.

only in Israel it should be..no where else shoudl it be

But Gd forbid if an Israel didn't exist and all Jews were in Diaspora and the vast vast majority lived in another area, such as Alaska  (:P)...can it be done?

Only in a Jewish State should it be a national holiday and the only possible Jewish state is the state of Israel
