Passover in 2025 begins at sundown on Saturday, April 12, and ends at nightfall on Sunday, April 20 (or Saturday, April 19, depending on family tradition). The holiday starts on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan and lasts for seven or eight days depending on the observance. The first Passover seder is celebrated on the evening of April 12, 2025.

Passover typically occurs in the spring, always starting on the full moon of the Hebrew month of Nisan, which corresponds to March or April on the Gregorian calendar. It commemorates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt and is celebrated with symbolic rituals including eating matzah and holding seder meals.

For future dates:

  • 2026: April 1 - April 9
  • 2027: April 21 - April 29
  • 2028: April 10 - April 18

All holidays start at sundown the evening before the listed date and end at nightfall on the last day.
