All 2026 Holidays
HolidayDateDayLinks
Jewish holidays begin at sunset the evening before the listed Gregorian date. Hanukkah: the first date is the evening of the first candle (erev 25 Kislev). National days that fall next to Shabbat are shown on their observed civil date.
Around those dates there is often extra paperwork and household work. Life-event checklists used in Israel gather those steps in one place.
