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.)

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



My mistake.

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