SO IDK HOW THIS IS HANDLED BUT Levi would've put in a request to be excused from classes to go to the synagogue (escorted?) in whatever closest Wizarding town for Rosh Hashana on Oct 3, where he'd meet up with his eldest brother for a fun-filled day of religious services. He puts these requests in every year whether it's rejected or not, but this year he's like, "Wellll, it's actually two days this year, but I don't wanna get greedy." He'd also put in a request for Yom Kippur on Oct 12 because, with a straight face, "I have a lot of sins to atone for."

Gooseberry High is a secular boarding school which, as a rule, does not give its students opportunity to go off-campus except through EXCITING HIKING TRIPS. Students get to go home for Winter Break and Spring Break, which you can argue is Christmas and Easter, but the school is pretty strict in only calling those Winter Break and Spring Break. ;)

Anyway, for religious holidays, a student's legal guardian must have made arrangements with the school in advance to excuse the student from classes for those days. Prior permission/arrangements also apply if a student wants to go off-campus for religious observations, in which case a bus will take them out of the anti-Apparition zone, where their legal guardian must pick them up. If no one picks them up, the student goes right back to school, although they'll be allowed to miss classes. (Levi getting picked up by his brother would be acceptable so long as his parents explicitly told the school that it's OK.) Arrangements include the time when the student is picked up by the bus to return to school, and they must be there on time or else there will be academic consequences.

Also, if a student is still at school and fasting for, say, Yom Kippur or Ramadan, staff will be aware of that and try their best to accommodate them. Healer Mufferaw has an open door policy in case any students feel faint. (I mean, technically he always has an open door policy, but this is one of the times he will not kick you out for "whining.")

tl;dr: Petitions don't work, but Levi can have time off and go to the synagogue if his parents made prior arrangements with the school.
