NEW YORK, NY — There are 43 holidays this year (some overlapping) on which alternate side of the street parking is suspended in New York City — 10 days in October alone. Some are national (Independence Day). But most are religious. There are so many that — for the first time in anyone’s memory — four religious holiday parking days just happened in a row: the two days for Rosh Hashana on Tuesday and Wednesday and three days for Id al-Fitr, ending today.

The Varieties of Religious Parking

by Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
A self-proclaimed Jewish atheist had no qualms with sending his son to a Catholic day school. One evening during dinner as the son enthusiastically described the Christian theology of the Trinity – the father, the son and . . ., the man could hardly contain his anger. “Listen here son and remember it well,” bellowed the atheist: “There's only one G-d and we don't believe in him.”
Yom Kippur is the holiest time in the Jewish calendar. This awesome moment represents, in time, what the Beit Hamikdash (the Holy Temple) signified, in space. In fact, when the Temple stood in all its majesty and glory, the High Priest would enter its holiest chamber on this very day to perform a special service. It was the only time that anyone would ever enter this inner sanctum where the Holy Ark containing the Tablets was housed – known as the “Holy of Holies.”
