[edit] New Israeli holidays as religious holidays
Before this erupts into an edit war: how do the participants feel about making a seperate category in this box for Israeli national holidays? Not all POVs will agree that Yom Ha'atzma'ut is a Jewish religious holiday. JFW | T@lk 15:06, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I've changed the template to reflect the above. Please comment. I have also put all the Sukkot-related holidays under one link, as all of them link to Sukkot anywayz. JFW | T@lk 14:51, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Why are "Sukkot, Hoshanah Rabbah, and Shemini Atzeret" in one link, and Simchat Torah under another? Hoshanah Rabbah is part of Sukkot, and Simchat Torah is part of Shemini Atzeret. Dreyfus 00:04, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
All of the following Orthodox Jewish organizations accept these four new days as Jewish holidays, and not just Israeli state holidays: The Union of Orthodox Congregations and Rabbinical Council of America; The United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth (United Kingdom); and The Chief Rabbinate of the State of Israel. All of Reform Judaism and Conservative Judaism accept these four new days as Jewish holidays, and not just Israeli state holidays. The same is true for the smaller, newer groups, the Union for Traditional Judaism and the Reconstructionist movement. To the best of the my knowledge, no Hasidic or Haredi group accepts these as religious holidays. As for secular Jews who do not actively observe Judaism as a religion, most seem to have accepted Yom HaShoah and Israel Independence Day as real Jewish holidays; the other two days secular Jews outside Israel probably wouldn't know about.

- Of course, that is why these holidays are on the same template. However, you must be aware that the Haredi view is quite unlike that of the OU and the RCA. To satisfy all opinions, I have seperated the two. JFW | T@lk 12:27, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

- Fine by me. I started a brief section on this topic in the Jewish holidays article, but this can be edited and revised. RK 14:46, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)
