About Passover starts

Passover, or Pesach, is a major Jewish festival commemorating the Exodus from Egypt and the liberation of the Israelites from slavery. It begins on the fifteenth day of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar and is observed for seven or eight days depending on community practice. The first night is centered on the seder, a ritual meal with readings, symbolic foods, questions, and storytelling. During the festival, many Jewish households avoid chametz, leavened grain products. Because the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar, Passover's Gregorian start date moves within March or April. timekit uses the date in its 2026-2035 religious holidays data; religious observance begins at sundown the previous evening.
