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).

"Cultural" Jews still celebrate the high holy days, though, don't they? *curious*

You can *still* use it to make a point, though.

"Could you tell me what happened at the Installation? I was celebrating Passover and could not attend."

Observant, non observant, cultural -- HECK put some Matzo ball soup, charoses, and brisket in front of me and *I'LL* observe Passover.

*MOST* Jewish people that I know "observe" (or at least EAT) the first two nights of Passover. Many of the Christians I know can't tell you when the first night of Passover is.

What percentage of people in Order of the Eastern Star are Jewish?? You need to train those that make decisions to take the group into account.

You can always leave the random grouse about having had to miss your inlaws' seder....

Passive-aggression can be a useful psychological tool (he said cynically).
