When does Passover occur?

Answer 1

Passover begins on the 15th of Nissan in the Hebrew calendar. That date occurs in late March or early April in the familiar civil calendar.

Answer 2

Passover, or "Pesach" in Hebrew (פסח), begins on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nissan (ניסן). In Leviticus 23:5-6, it says, "In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at dusk, is the Lord'S passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord; seven days you shall eat unleavened bread." The word "Pesach" comes from the Hebrew word for "jump", or, in maybe a more dignified way to say it, "pass over".

Answer 2

Passover begins of the 14th day of Nisan (the same thing as March and April in the Gregorian calender) and ends on the 21st day of Nisan in Israel and among some liberal Diaspora Jews; 22nd day of Nisan outside of Israel among more traditional Diaspora Jews.

Answer 3

The traditional seder is on the first evening of Passover. As the Jewish people dispersed around the world, being certain which day of the year a holiday began on became somewhat problematic until the advent of modern technologies, and an additional service was held on the second night "just in case" and became obligatory. Today there is a trend toward one seder for family on the first night, and then with friends or extended family (which could also include a congregational seder) on the second. As to the "date" in the Jewish calendar it is the same time every year, but because the Jewish calendar and our secular calendar are different, it feels like it is on a different day every year.
