When is Passover? The Passover 2008 Calendar Jewish Passover Holiday Overview
When is Passover? This year the date of Passover week is April 19-27. Pesach or the Jewish Passover holiday is an eight-day long celebration that begins on the night of the fifteenth day of the month of Nissan of the Hebrew calendar. Passover 2008 will begin at sunset on Saturday, April 19, and will end at nightfall on April 27th. The intermediary days of the Passover Festival, in between the first two Passover Festival days and the last two Festival days are known as 'Chol HaMoad'. In Israel, Pesach is celebrated for seven days only, where the first and last days are observed as holidays and no work can be done on these days. However, at other places, the first two and the last two days are observed as holidays. The highlight of the Jewish Passover festival is the special Passover Feast seder meal performed on the first two evenings of the Passover holiday.
Passover Calendar
Passover 2008 or 5768 is one of the rare years when the Passover Festival begins immediately after the Sabbath concludes There are certain complications because many of the Passover holiday rituals that are usually performed on the day before Pesach cannot be performed on the Sabbath.The 'Fast of the Firstborn' has to be observed on Thursday and the search for chametz has to be performed on Thursday night instead of Friday night. Most of the preparations for the Passover seder have to be done before Shabbat begins. Another complication is that it is prohibited to eat Matzah before the Seder. Chametz should be removed no later than mid-morning on Saturday on Pesach, while Shabbat requires eating three meals with bread!
