The Jewish calendar features many special days throughout the year. However, as the dates for these special days are set by the Jewish calendar, their corresponding dates in the secular calendar varies from year to year. Below please find information about the secular dates on which a range of approaching Jewish special days will fall. Please also note that the Jewish ‘day’ begins at sunset, thus any holyday listed below will actually start at sunset on the previous day (and end at nightfall on the day listed).

Days marked with an asterisk are holydays on which ‘work’ (melachah in Hebrew) is not permitted – this includes writing, using electronic devices, and travelling by vehicle.

The dates for Rosh Chodesh (the commencement of the new month) are also given below as there are some changes to the prayers recited on those days.
