The holiday of Pesach, or Passover, falls on the Hebrew calendar dates of Nissan 15-22.
Pesach 2020 (Passover) falls out at sundown on Wednesday, April 8, and ends at nightfall on Thursday, April 16.
What Is Passover?
The eight-day festival of Passover is celebrated in the early spring, from the 15th through the 22nd of the Hebrew month of Nissan, April 8 - April 16, 2020. Passover (Pesach) commemorates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt.
In Hebrew it is known as Pesach (which means “to pass over”), because G‑d passed over the Jewish homes when killing the Egyptian firstborn on the very first Passover eve.
Pesach is observed by avoiding leaven, and highlighted by the Seder meals that include four cups of wine, eating matzoh and bitter herbs, and retelling the story of the Exodus.
