Y'all are too sweet! Even though my mother primed me from an SEC point of view of rush, I'm still not sure I would have survived one happily!

The Jewish High Holy Days are full-day observances that require fasting and avoiding all activity except religious observances. No school. No work. No recreational activities. And it's pretty well understood that many Jews who are not particulaly observant about Sabbath-keeping are very
observant when it comes to the High Holy Days.

Once again, MC gets it right. When I went to Pitt, the school was about one-third Jewish. NOTHING was scheduled on High Holy days - there was even a kosher cafeteria! Unless you're familiar with Jewish culture, you really don't understand how strictly the High Holy days are observed.
The Muslim equivalent (from what I understand, I'm not fully versed in their culture) would be Ramadan.
