The 19th Ward prides itself on its efforts to be inclusive. To welcome all to the table and it's residents and groups officially and unofficially organizes many events to that end. The dates we select for events can automatically become an unintended barrier to participation by some interest groups.
Today I saw the lovely invitation to 19th warders for the St. Stephen's church "New Orleans Jazz Dinner" on September 18, 2010. It sounds like a great event and I am interested in going....then I noticed that it is scheduled on Yom Kippur, the highest holy day for religious Jews (akin to Easter or Christmas in sacredness for Christians). Jews traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. I suspect that some Jews would like to go the the Jazz Dinner...if it wasn't on Yom Kippur; or to at least be able to consider going.
My note is only meant to encourage us to be aware of such major dates/events when we schedule something we would like our community to participate in....maybe next year this event can be on another day....
Regards to all
