About Jewish Holiday Dates in 2020 (5780-5781)
Jewish holidays follow the Hebrew lunisolar calendar, so their Gregorian dates change each year. All Jewish holidays begin at sunset the evening before the date listed and end at nightfall on the final day.
In the diaspora (outside Israel), some holidays are observed for an additional day. The dates on this page reflect diaspora observance. For Israel-specific dates, visit each holiday's individual page.
