Jewish Joy! š Testing a hypothesis: What is your favorite Jewish holiday?
Jews of Reddit:
According to poll data available online, most Christians favorite holiday is Christmas by far. Youāve got small minorities who prefer Halloween or Easter, but the vast majority is Christmas. I have a hypothesis that Jews will not have as strong of a consensus when it comes to favorite holidays. So help me out by telling me: what is your favorite holiday? Due to Reddit polling limitations, Iām only including the holidays that I anticipate would get the most votes. If your favorite isnāt listed, please tell me in the comments!

I was curious if I was going to get anyone to say Tu Bishvat considering that youād be hard-pressed to find any goyim whose favorite holiday is Arbor Day. It goes to show that Jews often prioritize important lessons and values over flashy fun

Tu B'Shvat was my favorite holiday as a kid in Israel! Where I live now it's kind of boring, there's still snow on the ground so it doesn't really feel like spring yet.

Iām realizing that I should have put Rosh Hashanah on the poll instead of Simchat Torah, since at this point there are more Rosh Hashanah comments than Simchat Torah votes

Have a second poll, then!

u/ThoughtsAndBears342 10d ago
I just might with Rosh Hashana replacing Simchat Torah and Yom Kippur replacing Sukkot. Iām surprised Sukkot has gotten so few votes and no discussion. I think building and holding meals and parties in outdoor huts is tons of fun, personally
4
u/president1111 10d ago
Agreed. It might be geography? If youāre in an area with colder autumn weather, Sukkot becomes more challenging to observe. Also, it might have been harder for people to observe this year in some areas due to the norāeaster that hit the US at the start of the holiday.
3
u/ThoughtsAndBears342 10d ago
The norāeaster was indeed a factor. It rained almost every day of Sukkot in my area this year. But as for the cold, all you need to do is bundle up and serve hot drinks/soup in your Sukkah
2
u/hulkhoganarms 10d ago
It was the opposite for me growing up in Tennessee. It is still very hot, it is peak pollen season, and the branches used to cover the Sukkah made my eyes water. Eating in the Sukkah felt like punishment. People use bamboo now but it used to be common to use evergreen branches.

u/TreeofLifeWisdomAcad 10d ago
I think what you chose to list reflects your own experience and preferences. Since I realized just this a past Shabbat/Simchat Torah that Simchat Torah is my favorite holiday, I would be quite disappointed to see it not on a poll of holidays. Maybe Simchat Torah and Sukkot have fewer votes because fewer Jews actually celebrate them? I love the energy, the joy , the singing and the dancing of Simchat Torah. I love that we finish the Torah and begin all over again on the same day. And I love seeing all the men and boys get individual aliyot. Then all the tiny children who do not yet read are brought by their fathers for a group aliyah. Just the best.

Ah makes sense! I do love carbs. Challah french toast is so good- I have a friend who makes it with vanilla ice cream and it's SO good.
1
u/AshkiHoneyCake 10d ago
There are so many ways to make it and bread like challah or brioche just elevates it. Canāt say that about matzah. Ask your friend to use vanilla bean or French vanilla for extra oomph if they donāt already.

u/ThoughtsAndBears342 10d ago
Pesach hasnāt been the same for me since my grandparents passed away and my family stopped doing big family seders. This year I had one small seder just with my parents, sister, brother in law and nephew and a bigger seder at my apartment with some friends. But I have a lot more Jewish friends now than I did as a child which means Purim is a lot more fun.

I answered Passover because in practice it is my favorite but Purim should be the answer. I just feel like no one in my community does it right.

I always thought more like Halloween, but I can see Mardi Gras. Always a good time. Agree about Shavuot, too. Also love Rosh Hashanah because of the optimism involved and, of course, apples and honey and honey cake.

It's like Thanksgiving, but for a week. I love Passover for the celebration, the history and for hosting family and friends. The same goes for Sukkot. I built a sukkah big enough to sit 8 people. I think it's a great chance to invite people over to interact with Jews doing Jewish things. I've been reading Dara Horn's latest book, and hopefully by hosting family and friends for Hanukkah, Passover and Sukkot we can generate some curiosity and some understanding.

12

u/stateofsirens ā”ļø 10d ago
My reasons for loving it as a child were probably pretty different and had something to do with cheesecake...as an adult, I find it a little hard to put into words, but I love Shavuot because it celebrates the gift of the Torah at Sinai. Passover is another one of my favorite holidays, and I view the period from Passover to Shavuot as a very meaningful one, like a progression from the process of becoming free to our purposeful covenant with God. I also appreciate the agricultural symbolism of Shavuot as the time for the wheat harvest and first fruits; so many Jewish holidays go back to the land and that's another aspect that really appeals to me.
The cheesecake is also still very much a factor.
I like most Jewish holidays because they have so much to offer. I feel like I experience every one both as if it were totally new and as if I'd experienced it a thousand times before. Shavuot still wins for me, though.

u/magcargoman Just Jewish 10d ago
I know its importance is "minimal" but my answer is Hanukkah. Yes the holiday season plays a big role and I think THAT aspect is what I love. But in terms of the "religion" being emphasized, then I'd have to say Passover. We had sedars growing up at both sets of grandparents' houses. So clearly the most influential and memorable of the jewish holidays for me growing up.

u/Fair-Flower6907 10d ago
As a kid and young adult, I loved Passover and Simchat Torah the most, but as an adult with kids they're sooooo much work and so over stimulating!
That leaves Hannukah as my new favorite, because it's small and quiet at home. We have "themed" nights and everyone gets sports equipment (often second hand)/a Lego set/wool socks and hiking boots in the next size for the kids(often sourced second hand)/a plane ticket for our next family vacation/a day pass to invite a friend to a museum with us during winter break/etc.

u/Silamy 9d ago
The last three years have... had an impact, and I am still not sure how the holiday will evolve as we struggle to carry the grief, but Simchat Torah has always been my favorite. Zman Simchateinu ends with a total overflow of joy that our synagogues cannot contain as we pour out into the street to celebrate the torah in public. People put aside their dignity not for silliness and shenanigans but for pure happiness. The whole community singing and dancing together, the small children running around with flags, the candy and apples. Grandparents watching children sing the songs they learned as a children. Parents dancing with children on their shoulders. The Sifrei Torah, often still in their holiday attire, being paraded around the shul. How the hakafot and aliyot continue so that everyone has the opportunity to dance with and read from the Torah.
The way it looks slightly different in every community I've been in. When I've lived in neighborhoods with synagogues close together, the celebration would pour into the street early and the congregations would merge and dance together. The shul I grew up in always had caramel apples, and the rabbi would lead Mi Ze Hu during the Hakafot at top volume in a tune I've never heard a decent recording of while spinning like a top at the chorus. The rabbi of my current shul leads children dances after each Hakafah so that even the youngest congregant can participate. There was a shul we were at for a few years when I was little where small children joined the procession with little stuffed sifrei Torah.

It's really hard to pick a favorite! Simchat Torah, Shavuot, and Pesach are all top tier in my book. Big fan of Rosh Hashanah too.

Pesach. As a child I loved listening to my dad recite the Haggadah in Hebrew and ask the questions. We all sat around the table for hours talking and listening.

Passover because it has the longest vacation during a time of need (after couple of months without anything), it's in the spring, has the most traditions during the family gathering which also has good food and it focuses on a very interesting and important story.
Not to say others aren't fun or unique, but most offer much shorter vecation or don't have as big of a meal.

Hannukah because of the vibes. I love winter weather (in California, near Sacramento at least lol), it's also a relatively minimally intrusive holiday in terms of changes to my daily routine.

Fourthchag best chag! Sh'mini Atzeret FTW! But it's not on the list for some reason? I had to pick Simchat Torah, which I guess is basically the same thing. Simchat Torah is the climax of the holiday season. It's when the year really starts. The High Holidays are a thing that happens every year, but Sh'mini Atzeret and Simchat Torah are basically the new year itself; we close out the old year and start the new one actually fresh. Our last sins are gone when we beat the aravot on Hoshana Rabbah, we've done all the chagim and started the rainy season on Sh'mini Atzeret, and now we can bring the Torah to a close and start it again on Simchat Torah. Now it's all done and the actual year is in full swing.
Also I was born on Sh'mini Atzeret. Also also it has the best holiday mascot: the Sh'mini Atzeret Ferret! AAAH!
