Yay!/Boo! and a Poll

[gnomi]

I'm a member of the Jewish Vocational Service's Jewish Women's Mentoring Network. And I got mail from them this morning that prompted a session of Yay!/Boo!:

-- They're having a one-night workshop, "Stressed Out! Managing Job Search Tension," on 19 September that's only $15. Yay!
-- It's at the Newton JCC, which isn't all that T-accessible. Boo!
-- They're also about to start a six-week Success Team program for networking. Yay!
-- The first two sessions are on the second day of Sukkot and Simchat Torah, respectively. Boo!

Which leads me to my poll:

[Poll #562453]

While I totally understand not viewing the second days of each as a full holy-day, this is just sending a message I'm not sure they want to send. I would imaging they were looking at it in purely a calendar sense and not in a religious sense but they should be informed by someone who is affected and cares about both issues. You are a wonderful choice to do this :).
