They aren't all "feasts." Yom Kippur is a solemn fast day. All the others, in addition to their festive meals, are marked by prayers and Torah-readings.
- Shabbat - every Saturday (beginning Friday at sunset)
- Rosh Hashanah - the Jewish New Year
- Yom Kippur - fast day, Day of Atonement
- Sukkot - Tabernacles
- Shemini Atzeret
- Pesach - Passover
- Seventh day of Pesach
- Shavuot - Feast of Weeks; Yom HaBikurim
Each festival has its specific laws:
- On Rosh Hashanah, the shofar (ram's horn) is blown, to mark the beginning of the Jewish year.
- Yom Kippur is a fast day on which Jews pray for forgiveness for all their sins. No eating, drinking, or bathing is allowed. Wearing leather shoes is also prohibited.
- On Sukkot Jews eat all their meals in outdoor arbor-canopied booths (Sukkah) in order to commemorate the Israelites' wanderings in the desert. Some will also sleep in the Sukkah. During the morning prayers on these days, we take the 4 minim consisting of a Lulav (young palm branch), an Etrog (Citrus Medica; citron), three Haddassim (Myrtle branches) and two Aravot(willow branches).
- On Pesach leavened bread, cakes, pasta etc. are forbidden and unleavened Matzah is substituted. Passover begins with the Seder-meal commemorating and retelling the story of the Exodus. Matzah and ceremonial foods are eaten at the Seder.
- On Shavuot the custom is to stay up all night studying Torah to mark the date that God gave the Ten Commandments.

What Jewish celebrations are there and when are they?
The "Jewish celebrations" are listed in Leviticus 23.The Bible calls them the "Feasts of the Lord"... not the "Jews":"...say unto them, Concerning the Feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations [assemblies], even these are My Feasts." (Lev.23:2)However, the Jews are, primarily, the only ones keeping them today, with a smattering of others who recognize them as all "Christ-centered" observances [Jesus Christ, being the Creator God of the Old Testament who made all things - John 1:3].Besides the weekly seventh-day Sabbath... the "annual feasts" in Leviticus 23 are also called "Sabbaths" or "High Day Sabbaths."They are divided into two seasonal groups; 1)- the spring or early harvest season: The Passover, the Days of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost. And 2)- the fall or latter day harvest season: the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, the Feast of Tabernacles, and the Last Great Day.There are seven of them... and they reveal the "plan of God" to those with the eyes to see. But WHEN they fall varies each year... because God's year begins in the "Spring" [when life begins anew] -- which may be early or late from year to year.The world today doesn't set its clocks by God's time table... but some calendars may have the "Jewish" celebrations included on them... and the Internet has many an offering on it to track down when they fall in any given year.There are other "celebrations" which the Jews have instituted as the generations passed... and some are recorded in some of the Bible's historical accounts. But the ones that God commands of His people are found in Leviticus 23.
