Jewish Holidays, This Year and Next
Every Jewish holiday and fast in date order, when each one begins, whether it is Yom Tov, the right greeting to use, and an .ics download for each.
5787 is a leap year: an extra month, Adar I, is added before Adar II so the holidays stay in their season.

סְלִיחוֹת
25 Sep
Begins Friday evening
“Begins” is the evening before the Gregorian date shown, since the Hebrew day starts at nightfall. Yom Tov marks a full festival day, when most work stops; Chol HaMoed days inside a festival’s range are not closed the same way. Each .ics file is one all-day event covering the whole date range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do dates start "the evening before"?
The Hebrew day runs from nightfall to nightfall, not midnight to midnight, so every holiday begins at sundown the evening before its listed Gregorian date.
What does Yom Tov mean here?
It marks a full festival day, when most work stops by Jewish law, similar to Shabbat. Chol HaMoed days inside a festival's date range are not full closures. In Israel the column says "Closed in Israel"; in the diaspora view it says "Yom Tov".
Do Israel and the diaspora have the same holidays?
Almost all the same, but the diaspora keeps a second day for several festivals that Israel observes for one day only; toggle the switch above to see either.
