A school board in Connecticut deleted Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur from the schools' academic calendar. But after protests and criticism from the community, they're reinstating the Jewish holidays.

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the Jewish faith’s holiest holidays, as days off on the schools' academic calendar.
