When is Passover in 2013

The holiday of Pesach, or Passover, falls on the Hebrew calendar dates of Nissan 15-22. Here are coinciding secular dates for the upcoming years:

2013: March 25-April 2

2014: April 14-22

2015: April 3-11

2016: April 22-30

2017: April 10-18

Note: The Jewish calendar date begins at sundown of the night beforehand. Thus all holiday observances begin at sundown on the secular dates listed, with the following day being the first full day of the holiday. (Thus, the first Passover seder is held on the evening of the first date listed.) Jewish calendar dates conclude at nightfall.

The first two days of Passover (from sundown of the first date listed, until nightfall two days later) are full-fledged, no-work-allowed holiday days. The subsequent four days are Chol Hamoed, when work is allowed, albeit with restrictions. Chol Hamoed is followed by another two full holiday days.

Marriage dates

To Bernie & Yankel:
According to some authorities, there is an exception to the prohibition of marriage during the Sefira period after Passover. Marriage (and possibbly other festivities) is allowed on Rosh Khodesh, the first day of the Jewish month. The year I was married in an Orthodox synagogue it conveniently fell on Sunday May 2. Consult with your local rabbi.

Thank you so much for this site! It answers lots of question for my friends and settles arguments quite well. It is a blessing to have somewhere to go and not have to feel like you are losing your mind when asking to be reminded. Thank you so much for your support!

marriage dates

Hi Bernie,
I'm not affiliated with this site but it doesn't appear that your questions was answered. The relevant dates in spring 2012 when most observant Jews would not schedule a marriage are from Monday, April 23 through May 9, the period of time between the beginning of the month of Iyar and the holiday of Lag Ba'omer. Some are strict regarding the entire period after Passover through Lag Ba'omer. As you probably know, observant Jews also do not get married on the Sabbath or on any holidays during which work is forbidden.

Mazal tov!

Derrick, we celebrate the Jewish holidays on their respective Jewish calendar dates which do not coincide with the Gregorian calendars. For more information on how the Jewish calendar works please see: Chabad.org/55194
