I've groused here before about the Christian bias of the Order of the Eastern Star. I wish I'd planned ahead and announced that I wouldn't be at tonight's big Installation of New Officers because it's a religious holiday for my in-laws (who are extremely non-observant, only "culturally Jewish," but could have been used behind their backs to make a point).

That depends on how cultural they are. There are High Holy days Jews, much like there are Easter and Christmas Christians. Then there are the people like my father, who are culturally Jewish, but haven't actually celebrated in years.

Ah! Got it, thanks! :)

By that token, maybe I'm culturally Christian. LOL (I haven't been to services of *any* kind for years.)

Known as "Hi-Ho Jews". There's a similar epithet for Christmas-and-Easter Christians, but memory fails at the moment.
