Don’t schedule important events on major Jewish holidays

A lot of things get scheduled on major Jewish holidays, in a way that prevents Jews from being able to participate. This needs to stop. 

If you’re in charge of scheduling things like:

Please avoid scheduling on major Jewish holidays. The most important ones to avoid are:

These holidays are at slightly different times each year, because the Jewish calendar is lunar. Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are in the fall, Passover is in the Spring. You can check when they are at hebcal.com, and hebcal.com also has a calendar you can subscribe to that says when the holidays are.

Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are the times at which Jews who don’t go to synagogue at any other time of year go. (In the same way that some Christians only go to church on Easter and Christmas). They are also major family holidays, even for people who are otherwise secular. Yom Kippur is a 25 hour fast (from both food and water) and most people who observe it are pretty wiped out immediately afterwards. 

The first two nights of Passover are when Jewish families hold Passover seders. It’s a major family holiday, even for people who do not consider themselves religious and never go to synagogue at all. Nearly all Jewish families have some sort of seder. 

It is considerate to also avoid scheduling important events that would require travel on the day before and after these major holidays. It is critical to avoid scheduling events on the holidays themselves.

There are other Jewish holidays that will create conflicts for some Jews, but they’re not as important to most Jewish people. 

tl;dr: If you value Jewish participation and solidarity with Jews, it is critically important to avoid scheduling important events on on Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, and the first two nights of Passover.

The Hebrew calendar measures days from sunset to sunset, so a single-day holiday will span two dates on the Gregorian (civil/secular) calendar. If the calendar you’re using doesn’t say ‘Yom Kippur begins at sundown,’ check another calendar to verify which Gregorian evening and day will have the holiday observance(s).

That too. Thank you.

@digievents {I’ve seen people here frequently confused about such dates and timeframes, so a reblog of this post might help people figure out potential future event timing!}

Fun fact: Since "Digimon Adventure 02 - The Beginning" will air on October 27th 2023, some of the prompts might be inspired by the movie's (potential) theme!

Day 1: Connection / Distance One year difference is way too much for them.

Hello fellow Digi bloggers!

As the whole year was filled with Digimon related weeks, we would have wanted for Taikou to get a little bit more attention. In absence and honor of the original Taishiroweek blog, we would like to squeeze in a little bit of love for our favorite pairing, that is the platonic or romantic ship between Taichi Yagami and Koushiro Izumi (Taikou, Koutai or mainly known as Taishiro in the English speaking fandom).

November is the last month of autumn, right before Christmas time begins. It’s a time that can be filled with light and coziness but also lurking shadows and gloominess.

So we thought about a few prompts that highlight the contrasts in our two favorite characters with Taikouvember 2022!

It’ll be just a small event, but if you would like to participate, feel free to use the following ideas as inspiration to post your content between November 21st and November 27th.

If you want us to reblog your posts, please tag everything as #taikouvember2022 and we will be happy to share your content, let it be fanart, fanfiction, edits or whatever comes to mind!

Koushiro Week 2022 Reminder!

What are Koushiro and the gang checking out…?  Ah!  It’s a KOUSHIRO WEEK 2022 REMINDER!

Koushiro week is coming in early October 2022 (October 3-9)!  

Please get ready to celebrate our dear child of knowledge and Tentomon <3

Hopefully the picture is clear, but you can select any prompt any day, or treat any day as a free day!  Wednesday, October 5 is a reblog day for sharing your existing Koushiro and Tentomon content, so everyone has a chance to participate if they would like to <3  The more Koushiro content, the merrier, so don’t hesitate to share your existing content!

Also, it is not expected/required that you submit content for every single day (although you are certainly allowed to).  Post as much or as little as you would like <3  Take care and have fun!

WELCOME TO THE SECOND EDITION OF MICHI WEEK. ♪♫

THE EVENT

This event has been organised as a dedication to Michi. Michi is the shipname for the pairing of Taichi Yagami and Mimi Tachikawa from the Digimon franchise. It’s a fun way to shine more light on this underrated but wonderful ship. It will take place from September 26 to October 02, so mark your calendars.

THE PROMPTS

All the prompts fit a general theme, namely “karaoke”, but feel free to interpret them however you like. ;)

THE GUIDELINES

There are guidelines to ensure this week runs smoothly, so please be sure to follow these:

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll do my best to help you out.

Love, Zoe

A little announcement:

To decide on what week to hold the new Michi Week I have made a list of all the digimon-related weeks happening this year to try to avoid any overlap and so…

Michi Week will be the last week of September: from September 26 to October 2!
