What is the Jewish Holidays Calendar?
Jewish holidays follow the Hebrew calendar, so their dates move around the Gregorian calendar from year to year. Rosh Hashanah can fall in early September or in early October, and Passover can fall in March or April. This tool lists the holidays and observances for the year you choose.
Select a year and the list loads with each date, the name, the Hebrew name and a short description for the main holidays. Use the filter buttons to show only the major holidays, the minor ones, the fast days or the modern observances. The list comes from the Hebcal service.

Some entries, such as Rosh Chodesh, mark the start of a month and are not full holidays.

Questions people ask
Why do the dates change each year?
The Hebrew calendar follows the moon and the seasons, and the Gregorian calendar follows the sun, so the two drift apart and realign over a nineteen-year cycle.
What does Major, Minor, Fast Days and Modern mean?
These are filters on this page. Major lists the main holidays, Minor the lesser days, Fast Days the fasts, and Modern the observances set in the last century.
Do holidays start the night before?
Yes. A Jewish day begins at sundown, so each holiday begins at sundown on the evening before the date shown.
Where does the list come from?
From the Hebcal service. The short notes are written for this page. Both are for information only.
Can I see a year far in the future?
You can pick years in the menu, which currently runs from 2025 to 2030.
