How it works

Passover observance date guide turns planning observances into a clear timeline by combining the calculator with guidance on observance planning, calendar caveats, and local guidance and verification steps.

Passover observance date guide focuses on clarity. It walks through planning observances with a short how-to, example dates, and FAQs that address real-world edge cases.

If multiple stakeholders are involved, share the inputs and counting rules alongside the result so everyone uses the same timeline.

Run the baseline calculation first, then compare the result to a manual spot-check. This helps catch off-by-one errors in planning observances.

  1. Confirm the official start date and end date for your scenario.
  2. Select the counting rule that matches observance planning, calendar caveats, and local guidance.
  3. Run the calculator and review the breakdown.
  4. Save the result with the inputs and assumptions for reuse.

Examples

  • Example audit: use October 12, 2026 as the trigger date and January 9, 2027 as the target date to confirm inclusive counting.
  • Example: October 12, 2026 through January 9, 2027 shows the baseline span. Use the breakdown to compare days, weeks, and months.
  • Example planning note: if October 12, 2026 is the start, confirm how observance planning, calendar caveats, and local guidance affects the end date on January 9, 2027.
