Jewish holidays in [community profile] wethelost

Because Alfie has no real way to transpose the Hebrew calendar into the world of the Meadous, and no rabbi to consult to boot, he's taken it upon himself to come up with a temporary calendar so that he can observe his major holidays. In fall 2018 (OOC date), he decided to celebrate Rosh Hashanah two weeks after the start of autumn. This means that Alfie's IC observances of holidays and any public or private parties/feasts he throws for them will be off from their OOC dates! Note that I'm also not including every single date of observance here; Alfie is only devoutish (har har), so while his faith and culture are important to him, he won't meticulously observe every minor holiday or even follow every guideline of the major ones, especially not while he's the only practicing Jew in the Meadous.
