Cortez such a dumb bimbo she’s clueless only knows free lunch socialism.

I have always lived in towns with a heavy Jewish population.
The kids get Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah off,but nothing else closes.

Your original post implied that the entire state of New Jersey traded Columbus Day for Yom Kippur——and that made no sense.

The Jewish population in those towns are nothing compared to Lakewood
The whole town shuts down
Just about every school district in Central and North Jersey closes for Yom Kippur in exchange for going to school on Columbus Day, it has been that way for decades now
“The Jewish population in those towns are nothing compared to Lakewood”
How on earth would you know that?
Our kids get both Jewish holidays PLUS Columbus Day.Lucky kids.
