I don't know much about the Jewish holidays but yeah, those that are Jewish whom I have worked with have taken a few days off for their events and I've never seen it be a problem for anyone, and in fact supported.
I agree with your fundamental point... pay him, don't make an issue of it and avoid the HR commission... I am not a fan of the HR commission and its powers.
