Court Hearing and Festival Dates

Question

Hello, can you please answer the following question? I was ordered to come to a court both on Rosh Hashanah and the first day of Sukkot. I informed the court about my Jewish religious observance but they declined my request to reschedule. Would it be permissible for me to come to the court on those days?

Thank you very much.

    I do not know where you live but I find it somewhat inexplicable that your lawyers cannot get your hearing delayed to accommodate your religious needs.

    Personally, I think that you need to ask your lawyers to insist that your religious beliefs are taken into account and that they move the hearing to a date that does not fall on a Festival.

    Please accept my Blessing that your legal worries turn into nothing.
