Doesn't apply here in ISRAEL, where we observe all the holidays for only one day, except Yom Kippur, which has two days because it is the most holy and important.

but two days yom kippur?!
Yes, thanks for the reminder, and remember to make Eruv Tavshilin for Diaspora Jews 2 more times during Sukkos.
"Israeli" is joking and i think i know who it is...
