About Jewish Holidays in 2026

The 2026 Jewish Holidays calendar lists 6 observances with their Gregorian dates for this year, spread across 5 months.

Jewish holidays are determined by the Hebrew lunisolar calendar. Because Hebrew dates do not align exactly with the Gregorian calendar, the same festival falls on different Gregorian dates each year.

Major observances in this reference set may include Passover, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Hanukkah, and Sukkot, depending on which entries are tracked for 2026.
