Pesach 2026
Passover in the spring: the seder retells the going out from Egypt over matzah and wine.
In 2026 it begins on Thursday 2 April in Masorti and Reform practice, and on Friday 3 April in Karaite practice.
Like every day of the Jewish year, it begins at sunset the evening before. Karaite dates are projected, and may move a day once the new moon is sighted.
