I wish I got enough business to do this. Every other day is a holiday for me.

Personally, I was glad to see so many businesses close or at least close early on Easter Sunday. Even though I really wanted a stinkin' burrito and didn't feel like cooking and was denied.

If turning a meaningful profit counts, I'd say there are a good percentage taking every day off.

I think that they've decided where their priorities are...and they have made the choice to keep their priorities as just that... priorities.

The thing with B&H is that they have FABULOUS customer service... FABULOUS....and their prices are awesome as well.

As far as being jealous... I supposed if you decided to become Jewish you could enjoy those holidays as well..... or....you could make enjoying your life a priority...and start scheduling it as such....

I think, as Americans, we have screwed ourselves. We work 40+ hours a week... we worry about taking vacations, and taking days off.... we are living to work...instead of working to live... it's a messed up scenario...

Unfortunately, becoming Jewish doesn't automatically give you these days off work as holidays...

Some of us would like to work more than we do so we can afford a vacation.

I admire their practice...to maintain integrity with their faith says to me that I can expect integrity in their business dealings...a pleased customer of 25 years..and realize that no piece of photo equipment is worth one's personal ethic value

Dennis, ditto! I couldn't have said it better. When you can find a company and it's employees who you can trust in, you have found a jewel. May God continue to bless B&H.

P.S. And you guys too. Love the comments...

B&H Rocks!
