Jewish Holidays

Major Jewish holidays and festivals observed in the Hebrew calendar, including Passover, Rosh Hashanah, and Yom Kippur.

About Jewish Holidays

Jewish holidays are based on the Hebrew calendar, a lunisolar calendar that determines the timing of religious festivals and observances throughout the year. Many holidays commemorate significant historical, religious, and cultural events in Jewish tradition.

Major observances include Passover, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Hanukkah, and Sukkot. Because Hebrew calendar dates do not align exactly with the Gregorian calendar, their corresponding Gregorian dates vary each year.

This calendar provides a reference overview of major Jewish holidays and their annual dates.
