Yom Kippur is the most important day on the Jewish calendar  which follows the Jewish New Year which is 10 days prior. It is called in English 'The day of atonement' because on this day the Jewish people are judged in heaven and forgiven for all their sins. The fate of every person is decided on this day for the year too. Yom Kippur starts on the night before at sunset and ends 25 hours later. We fast throughout that 25 hour period and pray in Synagogue most of the day wearing white as we are likened to angels. Hope i answered your question!

Hanukkah is the annual Jewish festival celebrated on eight successive days beginning on the 25th day of Kislev, the third month of the Jewish calendar, corresponding, approximately, to December in the Gregorian calendar. It is also known as the Festival of Lights, Feast of Dedication, and Feast of the Maccabees, Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem by Judas Maccabee in 165 BC after the Temple had been profaned by Antiochus IV Epiphanes, king of Syria and overlord of Palestine.\n\nSee http://www.history.com/minisites/hanukkah/ for more

I say Merry Christmas because it is the day of Christ!  I really don't understand people who take offense to people saying Merry Christmas.  I wouldn't get all mad if someone wished me Happy Hannukah.  I'd just politely say "thank you, and to you as well", and be done with it.  What's so hard about being tolerant of the religious practices of others?

I've been staying away from that area a bit, Perfessor. Too much hatin', and you know how sensitive I get. If you send me a couple of examples to peruse, I'll get right on it and get back to you (I believe you about anything as long as it's not "Bush and his Goons"!). I honestly have no tolerance for that kind of BS, and I'll have to give 'em a piece of what's left of my mind. Israels OK by me... ever had a New York falafel?

MERRY CHRISTMAS...It's ridiculous that anyone gets offended by it.  If someone were to tell me Happy Kwanza, or Happy Hannukah, I wouldn't get offended either.  It's obviously something that person believes in, and they are trying to wish me the best.  There's no harm in it, whether I believe in it or not.

For someone so obsessed about extremely Orthodox letter-of-the-law detail, you certainly didn't pay attention to where you posted this, did you?\n\nThis belongs in Religion/Spirituality, not Teaching/Education.\n\nAnd all of this nitpicking about exact time, etc. on a forum like this is important -- why?  If a new Sanhedrin is established at a renewed site-built Temple in Jerusalem, whether they go computerized or through ancient observation is their headache, not yours.\n\nWorry about your own deeds and influence on the world. Do good for your fellow human and for the community, and the existence of a physical Temple will be inconsequential.

While I'm a Christian myself (don't hold it against me.  ;) ), I don't object at all to hearing Happy Holidays.  This is a country that, although not based on the principles of true religious equality, has adapted such lately.  It would be consideed rather forceful if Jewish persons went around correcting everyone to 'Happy Hanukkah', for some persons to suggest Kwanzaa, and etc.  As well, there are atheists and other individuals who do not believe in these holidays.  For that reason--it is more politically correct--and polite--to say such terms.  Claiming that you're being discriminated against while discriminating against others is not an excuse conservatives should use.
