RE “Labor Day is a day to recognize and acknowledge that we toil.”

at least in the United States, Labor Day is primarily NOT a "day to recognize and acknowledge that we toil," but to respect workers. Indeed, it is a holiday formed by and for workers, primarily but of course not exclusively those who are associated with the labor union movement. Jewish tradition has a lot to say about the rights and responsibilities of workers, and the the rights and responsibilities of those who employ workers. You can find a basic list of readings on just this here: http://bit.ly/2b0zsON Wishing all readers a Shana Tova, >> Arieh
