Thanks for helping out a Goy

I work in sales and admit that I'm alway a little slow on holidays, especially when the dates change every year. I do not want to shame myself or my company when it comes to serving my Jewish customers. Your calendar is a big help, and the rest of the site has tons of great history and information. Thanks!

Work

Yes, the non-work holidays are observed by all those who try to keep the mitzvot. A solution that works for many other Shabbat and holiday observant people is to offer to work on non-Jewish holidays instead, as well as to work on Sundays, or to come in early and stay late.

General Note
	The Jewish calendar date begins at sundown of the night beforehand. Thus all holidays observances begin the night before the dates listed. The exception to this rule is fast days, which begin at dawn of the date shown below (aside for Tisha b'Av and Yom Kippur which also begin the night before). Jewish calendar dates conclude at nightfall.
