On the contrary, a reason often given for the importance of Bavel<br>
continuing their minhag avos was that it takes two days of yom tov

Let's say that it is indeed true that one needs two days of Yom Tov in
Galus to add up to the same Kedusha as one day in EY. <br><br>
Still, looking at the 8th day of Pesach in Golus which fell on
Shabbos this year, is it not true that looking at this day alone
that it had more kedusha than the same Shabbos day in EY which did not
have the additional kedusha of Yom Tov? This was my point. I
was not focusing on the sum of the kedusha of the entire Yom Tov,
just on the last day here.<br><br>
