"Novigod", "Navidad".
Not at all, it became a bigger issue since the the 1990 when more then a million Jewish came from the crumbling USSR, And they celebrated "Novigod"= new yer much more seriously then we, in Israel.
The most of the working people dont get a day off in it, so it is very hard to celebrate when you have to go ti work or school in the morning.
They are trying now to pas a rule in parlment to make Novigod as a national holiday, time will tell.
One Hebrew, one Spanish (I think)....interesting.
