New Years?

Thursday there is no school because of the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashana- the Jewish new year. I personally observe this holiday and go to temple thursday and friday. For me the holiday is two days not one, and because its two days I end up missing one day of school, this year ill be missing friday. I do appreciate the fact that we get thursday off of school, but to me its still a holiday and getting one day off of school doesnt make sence to me. The holiday is two days. Shouldnt that equal two days of of school? Now I understand that most people at our school do not observe both days, but what about the people that do. Its an improtant day to observe, and for me more important then going to school. Its hard for me to me miss school, but this is one day of the year thats important for me to observe and it doesnt make alot of sence to me that the school basically only "allows" one of the two days for us to observe.
