Aaargh!

April 2 is the first night of Passover.  This is not one of those
obscure holidays whose names are Hebrew for "alternate-side parking
suspended"[*]; a solid majority of Jews, even of unaffiliated Jews,
observe Passover.

You wouldn't schedule an academic CS conference to be held over
Christmas or Easter, would you?  Please treat Passover[**] the same way.
