PricingAboutSupportHebrew Calendar 2026
Every major holiday, fast, modern Israeli observance and Rosh Chodesh date in 2026. Israel dates, computed from baba's Hebrew calendar engine, not a fixed list.
The Hebrew year does not start on January 1. Gregorian 2026 opens partway through Hebrew year 5786 and, after Rosh Hashanah in the autumn, continues in Hebrew year 5787. Dates below are Israel (one day of Yom Tov, except Rosh Hashanah, which is two days everywhere). Every date is computed from that boundary, not hand-entered.

Yom Kippur is both a fast day and a Yom Tov; it appears here rather than under Major holidays because fasting is what sets it apart from the other festivals.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is Yom Kippur 2026?
Yom Kippur 5787 is 21 Sep 2026. It begins the evening of 20 Sep. The greeting is gmar chatima tova, not chag sameach.
When is Rosh Hashanah 2026?
Rosh Hashanah 5787 begins the evening of 11 Sep and runs through 13 Sep, 2026. Unlike most festivals, Rosh Hashanah is kept for two days everywhere, including Israel.
Why does 2026 have two Hebrew years?
The Hebrew year does not align with the Gregorian one. January to September 2026 falls in Hebrew year 5786; Hebrew year 5787 begins at Rosh Hashanah in the autumn and runs to the end of the Gregorian year.
Where do I get candle-lighting times?
Candle-lighting is a weekly, city-specific query, not a fixed calendar date. Use the Jerusalem zmanim page, or baba's zmanim tool for another city.
