If you are going to do business with observant Jews you may wish to pay some mind to the holidays they observe. The next 2 weeks is full of them so expect a lot of closures and delays in shipments. Luckily, the days they are closed last only 2 days but those days will occur and occur as we pass from Simchat torah, Shemini Atzereton, through Sukkot. As for the meaning of these holidays, if interested, Google is your friend. Part of doing business is understanding these things.
