1. Rosh Hashanah (2 Days) 2 HOLIDAYS AND HOLIDAY PAY Holidays The J closes its facilities in observance of the following Jewish holidays: 1. Rosh Hashanah (2 days) 2. Yom Kippur (1 day) 3. Sukkot (1 day) 4. Shmini Atzeret (1 day) 5. Passover (2 days) 6. Shavuot (1 day) Except for the Fitness + Sports department, The J also closes for the following holidays: 1. New Year's Day 2. Memorial Day 3. Independence Day (Fourth of July) 4. Labor Day 5. Thanksgiving Day 6. Christmas Day Personal Floating Holiday Full Time Regular employees receive one Personal Floating Holiday per fiscal year. The Personal Floating Holiday is awarded on October 1 of each year (it is not accrued). Employees hired after October 1 will be awarded one Personal Floating Holiday if their date of hire is October 1-March 31 and one-half Personal Floating Holiday if their date of hire is April 1-September 30. The Personal Floating Holiday may be used in one full or two half-day increments; does not carryover from year to year; and is not paid out upon termination if not used. The intention of the Personal Floating holiday is to allow employees additional time to prepare for/celebrate holidays of personal significance (e.g., the first Seder of Passover, the eve of Rosh Hashanah and/or the eve of Yom Kippur, Christmas Eve, Good Friday, etc.). The Personal Floating Holiday does not have to be used for this purpose, however. It may be used for any reason and should be requested as any other PTO is requested in the employee’s home department. Requests are granted upon supervisory approval, subject to the needs of the department. Holiday Pay Holidays are observed on the days they fall. Full Time Regular employees are paid for these holidays at their regular rates of pay when the holiday falls during their regularly scheduled workweek. Some departments require employees to work on holidays. Full Time Regular employees in non-exempt positions have two options when required to work on a holiday: 1. The employee works on the holiday and receives an alternate day off with pay. A “day” is defined as the number of hours the employee actually works on the holiday. This entitles the employee to be paid straight time for the hours worked on the holiday and straight time for the same number of hours on the alternate day off. The alternate day off must occur in the same or subsequent pay period as the holiday. 2. The employee works on the holiday and does not take an alternate day off. If this option is selected, the employee is compensated at 1.5 his/her regular rate of pay for the hours worked on the holiday. If the employee’s regular shift is shortened because The J’s hours of operation are shortened, the employee is compensated at 1.5 his/her regular rate of pay for the hours actually worked and at his/her regular rate of pay for any hours he/she would normally work but does not due to shortened hours of operation. Part Time Regular, Seasonal and Temporary employees (non-benefitted) who work on a holiday are compensated at 1.5 their regular rate of pay for the hours worked. .

  • How Do We Celebrate Yom Kippur at Home?
    “Day of Atonement” In Hebrew. Healthy adults are commanded to refrain from eating and drinking from sunset to sunset to remind us of the frailty of the human body and our own mortality, and to encourage complete focus on the holiday. It is customary to wear white on the holiday and some choose to wear sneakers or other rubber-soled shoes out of deference to the ancient practice of avoiding leather shoes, which were a symbol of luxury. How Do We Celebrate Yom Kippur at Home? Before sundown, families and friends gather together and eat the last meal before the start of Yom Kip- pur and the period of fasting. It is only after the last bite is eaten, and the holiday candles are lit, that Yom Kippur and the fast officially begin. If you choose to fast, it is important to remember that children under the age of 13 are not required to fast nor are adults whose health precludes them from fasting. Yom Kippur is a somber Jewish holiday of reflection and contemplation. We think of those who came before us and those who have influenced our lives and we take the time to remember family and/or friends who have died. You can light a special Yahrzeit candle (available in Judaica shops and online), if you choose. Just like on Shabbat, two candles can be lit at the evening meal. Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, who has sanctified us with Your com- mandments and commands us to light the [Sabbath and] holiday lights.

  • Christmas Eve, New Years Eve, All Saints Eve. I Bet You Recognize the First Two, but Not the Last
    Christmas Eve, New Years Eve, All Saints Eve. I bet you recognize the first two, but not the last. Perhaps because it is not commonly called All Saints Eve, but Halloween; which means the Eve of All Hallows, or of All Saints Just as Christmas Eve has absolutely no meaning whatsoever without Christmas, and New Years Eve is only a means of ushering in the New Year, so too, Halloween in and of itself is meaningless without the celebration of All Saints Day, for which it is a preparation. Halloween was originally the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in), marking the end of summer and the beginning of winter, a time of year that was associated with death. Celts believed on the night of October 31st the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred, and the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. The fears and superstitions of Celtic tribes were evangelized and superseded by the Christian experience of life and death. As the Church celebrated the lives of her Saints and Martyrs on November 1st, Samhain was no longer celebrated as a pagan feast, but as a preparation for All Saints Day. The Church can mock the Devil, and laugh at goblins and demons, because Christ Jesus our Lord has overcome Evil. Protestant countries, following the lead of Martin Luther in the Sixteenth Century, eliminated the celebration of All Saints Day, to give more importance to Jesus Christ. The religious practice of praying to the Saints was considered a man-made invention, detracting from worship of Jesus Christ.
