Frequently asked questions
Why do Jewish holidays change dates every year?
Jewish holidays follow the Hebrew calendar, which is based on the moon and adds an extra month 7 times every 19 years. That is why they fall on different civil dates, but always in the same season.
When do the holidays begin?
The Jewish day begins at sundown, so each holiday starts the evening before its date and ends at nightfall on its last day. Minor fast days are the exception: they run from dawn to nightfall.
Why do some holidays last one more day outside Israel?
By tradition, outside Israel (in the Diaspora) one day is added to Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot. The dates on this page are for the Diaspora.
Which are the most important holidays?
Rosh Hashanah (New Year) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) are the High Holidays. Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot are the three pilgrimage festivals. Hanukkah and Purim are joyful holidays widely celebrated with family.
