Shana Tovah - The Realities of Christian Domination in our Society

As today is Rosh Hashanah, I would like to take a look at the first Amendment right to religion. For those who don't know, Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and will soon be followed by Yom Kippur, where Jews from all over will be going to synagogue to celebrate. And 51% of the worlds Jews reside in the US (while only 30% live in Israel). So given there are millions of people who celebrate these holidays, how does the government and the society support this religion?
The answer: poorly. The only protection offered to Jews is time off for religious holidays. Yet there is no requirement that these days are paid. So, today, millions of people are missing their jobs, many without compensation, while many people's workplaces will be shut down for Christmas in just a few months. Moreover, very few people outside of the Jewish community are aware of these holidays. Last year, on Yom Kippur, I was fasting and spent all day in synagogue. Regardless of the holiday, there were teachers scheduling tests on that day, and the girl's volleyball team picture was taken that evening. I was not in the yearbook picture for my sport because I had a religious observance, but no one knew, and when I brought it up, it was said to be "too late" and "too expensive" to work around. Aside from holidays, there are many Jews that follow Kosher rules to varying degrees. For me, this means no pork (which is often put in dishes in restaurants without being listed, such as bacon bits on salads), and for others, it means never allowing meat and dairy to touch the same plate, regardless of how many times it was washed in between. While the later is a high order to follow, there are extremely restaurants that even attempt this. The whole list is listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_kosher_restaurants, and it's not very long. And perhaps worse of all: while Christians have Sunday as a day of rest, the day of rest for Jews is Saturday. Yet everything that happens on the weekends happens on Saturday to allow Christians to go to church on Sunday, leaving many Jews to choose between their religious ceremonies and their activities.
While some of these are tall orders to be accommodated, there are smaller steps that the government can take to help lighten some of the issues placed on the Jewish people. Paid holiday leave would vastly improve many people's lives, as lower-income employees would be able to afford to spend their day in synagogue without worrying about being able to pay for their food that day. Also, general awareness of the holiday schedule would allow for fewer events scheduled on these days and would allow them to be easier to miss. For example, today's google doodle says nothing about Rosh Hashanah. While this is not a government company, it is still one way to raise awareness.
In the end, we need to understand that while the right to religion is protected, our government does not make religions other than Christianity easy to follow. This post talks about this in the context of Judaism, but it goes for all other minority religions. Perhaps we need a more diversified federal and national government that can fight for better policies and awareness.
