"As it turns out, Stereo Exchange is now not only participating in the NYAS, but also hosting their own concomitant three-day Fall High-End Audio Show at their Broadway store."
I believe that retailer and some of the others have often made it a practice to have open houses with manufacturer participation during New York City audio shows, not just this time. I believe they sometimes mention the high cost of being at the show (not baseless)...now it's a partial overlap with Rosh Hashanah.
And it is worth noting that in spite of this partial overlap they can this time around still manage to have open houses over the same weekend at their business addresses. In other words, for some reason Rosh Hashanah isn't blocking _that_ effort.
Good thing they're not Orthodox owned, or they'd assumedly have to be closed every Friday eve and every Saturday, which overlaps with...about any audio show and that business' normal operating hours....
By the way, I am similarly skeptical of Christian and Muslim religious beliefs intruding into secular affairs, which they often do.
