Sorry - Wicked question for Rosh Hashuna — Page 2

Does anyone know how observant Idina actually is? I am assuming she is not that observant because she performs on Friday night and Saturday and she married a non-Jew. (Although he is an extremely cute non-Jew, so I guess I can forgive her! :) )
I think that if she is taking off for either of the High Holy Days, it will be for Yom Kippur, as that is the holiest day of the year and it would be a pain to have to perform without having eaten or drinken all day. But, if there hasn't been an official announcement, I tend to think she will perform because aren't they pretty good about letting people know actor's absenses?

the box office won't tell you upfront, they'd lose sales that way. But if you call and ask they have to tell you.

Yeah, I know it in't really an indicator. I am a conservative Jew and I probably wouldn't perform on Shabbes, but I have conservative friends who definitely would.

And Sandy Kofax as well. Some people do not do the fasting ( very Reform) But services even for non observant Jews on that day are pretty much non negotiable, if only cos of the Memorial service section.

Shoshana Bean is amazing i am so happy shes taking over for eden cause she defiently deserves it. I actually new abour shoshana taking over from my agent so yeah she defiently deserves it.

Technically, a holiday and a Holy Day are the same thing. Christmas is a Holy Day, but we've shortened it to Holiday.

Just thought I'd throw that in there.

i have a Jewish aunt, and all she does is drink a lot of wine.

Hence the question....why does Purim come only once a year?

Plum, you are definitely correct in so many ways, but I don't think you have to say that to be a non-observant Jew who does not observe Yom Kippur in any way is worse than being Jewish at all.

We are Jewish by blood, not by observance of holidays (or Holy Days), or kashrut, or even by knowledge of the prayers. We are Jewish because we are born that way, and no belief or lack thereof can change that.

This does not apply to converted Jews, as I don't know what the technicalities there are, sorry, because bloodline is not involved.

Well there are definitely Jews that feel that way - all or nothing. I was born Jewish, and choose not to practice. But sabreladay made it sound like Yom Kippur services is nesessary for ANY Jew. I just wanted to provide another viewpoint. Non-observant means just that. That's different than being "partially" observant.

ETA - this is getting way OT.

Last year Wicked was in previews early Oct, and I don't think Idina took any time off. But I'm not sure if that was after the holidays or not.
