The forgotten holiday

This is a super meh format for the meme but it's the same text so you get the idea

If Toyotathon and Shark Week were made holidays I certainly wouldn't complain.
- I want some Shark Week carols, and not that fog machine evangelical grade stuff. Something epic like "O Holy Sharks of the Dark Night Sea" or something lol
- Ew an ad
- What's toyotathon? A sale on Toyota?

This day is not July 1st.

Numbers is part of the old testament, before the calendar counting the days since Christ. It's referring to the Jewish calendar instead.

In Judaism, the year starts on Rosh Hashanah, which usually occurs around mid-September. The first day of the 7th month would be somewhere in March.

Still doesn't seem like Easter.

I don't care. I will take any excuse to listen to some Madness or the mighty mighty bosstones (ska fanatics please spare me i know the specials and selector exist...)
- Ska fanatics would probably listen to Desmond Dekker or Justin Hinds that day.
Actually this is about Rosh Hashanah, which is the first day of the seventh month despite being the beginning of the year. Calendars are fun.
- How is the first day of the seventh month also the beginning of the year on the same calendar?
Just tell me what day kashrut law permits me to listen to Sublime, and I’ll do it… I have no desire to offend the old gods or the new.
Ironically that's close to Labor Day, at least in the US.
Christians should do a ska assembly on Rosh Hashanah!

Can I get a rudeboi Jesus, skankin it in OG holiday fashion?

Sounds like something we should pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!

No regular work. Sounds great

I'm up for it. As an American, this could easily turn into a week off work with July 4th just a few days later. Music, fireworks, and good food! It'll be a great time!
- Y'all deserve it with how little vacation time some of you get. I’m over here enjoying my bare minimum 28 annual days of PTO (though we count weekends unlike some other countries nearby)
Only irregular work. Forbidden work.
It does, until you read the rest of the chapter, and realise you have to sacrifice a whole load of livestock and flour for a month, because god likes the smell.

I had to look it up. It's referring to Rosh Hashanah. It's based on the Jewish Calendar.

Rosh Hashanah
I don't know them. I haven't followed Ska since the 90s.
- You haven’t? That’s madness!

It's the perfect day to bid people welcome to (god's) tragic kingdom!

You came in with the breeze on Sunday morning...
- It really is one of those rare flawless albums where not only is there no bad or even mediocre songs, but every single one is an absolute banger!

Anybody else got Reel Big Fish bouncing around their head right now?

Wouldn't it technically be the first of September? The actual 7th month?

If we’re going by the Hebrew calendar it would be Rosh Hashanah, which starts on the first of the seventh month, which this year is on September 22
- Duh, right. L'shahnah tova!
- BRB asking a rabbi if it's kosher to bring a ska band to the next Rosh Hashanah
