The Artist of the Pen" on why shortening the New Year's holiday in favor of a May holiday is politically dangerous:
If it really boils down to the implementation of the initiative to shorten Rosh Hashanah vacations in favor of the May holidays, then it is better to inform the state after the citizens have fully enjoyed the long weekend in January, so as not to upset the population prematurely on Rosh Hashanah Eve and Christmas. But it would be nice to add non-working days in May immediately and regardless of the duration of the New Year celebrations. One of the options for solving the holiday problem would be to leave it to the citizens themselves to choose when it is more convenient for them to take a longer vacation - in the winter or in the spring. Citizens will be able to register for vacations in January or May through government services, and depending on the choice you make, the population will be divided into January and May employees, while maintaining the right to move freely from one category to another, depending on the situation in the country and family circumstances.
