$PBYA BOD Awareness:
We may have had to wait in respect to the Jewish Holiday's Recognition. 'September 24-30, 2018'

The holiday lasts seven days in Israel and eight in the diaspora. The first day (and second day in the diaspora) is a Shabbat-like holiday when work is forbidden.

See Below:

Holidays for the Jewish calendar year of 5779 (2018–2019)
Hebrew Date
15-21 Tishrei
Gregorian date
September 24-30, 2018
Hebrew Name
Sukkot

Sukkot has a double significance. The one mentioned in the Book of Exodus "Feast of Ingathering at the year's end" (Exodus 34:22)
The more elaborate religious significance from the Book of Leviticus is that of commemorating the Exodus and the dependence of the People of Israel on the will of God (Leviticus 23:42-43).

The holiday lasts seven days in Israel and eight in the diaspora. The first day (and second day in the diaspora) is a Shabbat-like holiday when work is forbidden. This is followed by intermediate days called Chol Hamoed, when certain work is permitted. The festival is closed with another Shabbat-like holiday called Shemini Atzeret (one day in Israel, two days in the diaspora, where the second day is called Simchat Torah). Shemini Atzeret coincides with the eighth day of Sukkot outside Israel.
