Why does the ‘holidays’ category only have 3 of the many Jewish festivals?

Motti _Shish asked:


They only have a section for Chanukka, Pesach and Yom Kippur. What about Purim, Lag B’omer, Shavuos, Tisha B’av, Rosh Hashana, Sukkos, Simchas Torah, etc….. What happens when you want to ask something relating to these other holidays?
Haha, quite honestly I doubt it’s anti semitism Eric :)

To all the those fasting and on the computer: why?

me asked:


The rules of Shabbot and Yom Kipper prohibit the use of the computer. Yet I can tell from all the I am starving questions there are a bunch of people fasting, but observing very little else. Why? Of all our holidays this one *****. Yet it is the most observed. Purim, sukkot simkot torah are all fun holidays but almost nobody pays any attention to them (compared to YK)

I think the semi-observant Catholics have it right they skip ash wed, and good friday (depressing holidays like YK) but celibrate the fun ones — easter and xmas. Why do most Jews do the opposite?
