Religious holidays such as Passover, Easter, Ramadan, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa are also observed by various communities in New York. The observance of one of your own religious holidays is always an acceptable excuse for absence from school or work but may require special communication with your professor or supervisor.
