List of Observances set by the Hebrew Calendar


All observances begin at sunset the day prior to the Gregorian date listed and end on nightfall of the date in question unless otherwise noted. Nightfall is defined as when three stars are visible in the sky. On leap years (which occur every 2-3 years) an extra month; Adar II, is added and certain holidays move accordingly.

Yom tov for the Three Pilgrimage Festivals (Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot) is observed for 1 day in Israel and in Reform and most Reconstructionist communities around the world, and is observed for 2 days in Orthodox and most Conservative communities outside Israel, because of yom tov sheni shel galuyot. In the table, these are referred to as 1-day and 2-day communities.
