We don't wish each a other a "Happy Yom Kippur". And for holiday greetings, we usually say, "Chag Sameach" which means Happy Holiday. Unless it's Rosh Hashanah, then there is a longer greeting.

And how might YOU feel if you were told that the mere utterance of "Chag Sameach" (a greeting you no doubt give to others of your own faith, and perhaps even to others) was, by its very utterance, offensive?

How might you feel if it danwed on you that the entire culture seemed to wish that the phrase "Chag Sameach" never be uttered again?
