Calendar - Morashá

The Jewish day

All Jewish dates begin at dusk on the day before the specific date. This is due to the fact that the Jewish “day” begins and ends at sunset, rather than midnight. To know precisely when a new day begins on the Jewish calendar, consult the candle time table for Shabbat and Yom Tov.

Tefillin

They are not placed on chol Hamoed (intermediate days of) Pesach and Sukkot, and during the festivals of Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Hoshanah Rabbah, Shemini Atzeret and Sichat Torah.

Yizcor

It is recited on the last day of Pesach, on the second day of Shavuot, on Yom Kippur and on Shemini Atsêret.
