From the Office of the Provost
As a follow up to the Provost’s earlier memo regarding the Interfaith Calendar, students observing the Jewish High Holy Days should not be penalized for missing classes and should be accommodated for exams and papers due during this Holy time.
Rosh Hashanah, beginning at sundown on September 29 and ending at sundown on October 1, and Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, begins at sundown on October 8 and ends one hour after sundown on October 9, are intensive holidays involving a great deal of prayer and prohibition against any kind of work being performed. On other Jewish holidays throughout the year, such as Chanukah, work can be performed and missing classes is not an issue.
Thank you for being sensitive to the needs of all our students. The Interfaith Calendar can be found on the Web at: http://www.interfaithcalendar.org/.
