Just Passed Over
By RACHEL KRAMER | Mar. 27, 2012I'm Jewish and I'm pissed. The fact that classes are not canceled on April 6 is maddening to me. In case you don't know, that weekend is home to two major holidays: Passover and Easter. The first night of Passover (and Good Friday) is April 6, and Easter is April 8.
