Holidays and their dates, every year: Jewish holidays

Good to know

  • Candles are lit 18 minutes before sunset, as Hebcal’s calendar gives it for Houston.
  • Havdalah, and the candles of a holiday’s second night, are at nightfall, when the Sun is 8.5° below the horizon and three small stars can be seen. Some communities wait longer, up to 72 minutes after sunset.
  • Outside Israel, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, Pesach and Shavuot are kept for two days, as here.
  • Sunset is worked out from NOAA’s solar equations for 29.8° N, 95.4° W, at sea level; hills and buildings change what you see by a minute or two.
  • Your synagogue’s calendar may differ; follow it.
