Puzzled by the notation of Isra and Mi'raj on the city web site's calendar?
Me too.

No mention of the High Holy Days on the calendar.

ReplyDeleteSorry, Blackdog, on second thought I had to take down your comment. I don't think there was any special intent by the webmaster because otherwise Eid al Fitr would also have been on the calendar. This holiday is today and marks the end of Ramadan. To all our Muslim friends and neighbors, Eid Mubarak!
ReplyDeleteFor whatever the reason, unless it is a legal Holiday where business might be suspended for the day, or school would be closed, references to religious holidays have no place on the Plainfield City Government Website. That site is basically for official business, not one's personal beliefs! There are other venues available for that!
ReplyDeleteWhy are there dozens of religious holidays noted on the Plainfield calendar in the first place? When did it become the business of public government to inform citizens of religious events? Most of those noted are not school or public holidays, so why are they there?
ReplyDeleteI had to work on the company calendar that my company produces EVERY year... I am very forgiving of items missed on ANY calendar after having to proof read the holidays and special days for EVERY group on the planet...it really ends up making your birthday seem rather unimportant after proof reading something 10X in an attempt to not miss any major observance and then...proof reading it one more time..
ReplyDeleteWhile checking the calendar I noticed the scrolling message that City Hall offices were closing ealy on Friday, September 3rd and would reopen on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteSince when is the Friday a holiday and why were city workers eaving early. Is this something in their contract?
