The Jewish year 2027 at a glance
2027 spans two Hebrew years. Until October 1 it is 5787, a leap year with 13 months; from Rosh Hashanah, 5788, a common year of 12 months. The extra month, Adar I, is why the spring holidays come late in 2027: Purim on March 23 and Passover on April 22, almost four weeks after Easter. In 2028 they move back to March 12 and April 11.
The autumn holidays fall mostly on weekends in 2027. Rosh Hashanah is Saturday and Sunday, October 2 and 3; Yom Kippur is a Monday; the first days of Sukkot are a Saturday and a Sunday, and Simchat Torah is a Sunday. The year ends with a rare overlap: the first Hanukkah candle is lit on Christmas Eve, and the eighth on New Year's Eve.
Our dates are calculated with the fixed arithmetic rules of the Hebrew calendar (the molad and the four postponement rules) and checked against a published Jewish calendar for 2026, 2027 and 2028. Customs vary between communities; for the exact candle-lighting and nightfall times in your city, ask your synagogue. See also the Hebrew calendar converter and all US holidays of 2027.
Questions and answers
When is Rosh Hashanah 2027?
Rosh Hashanah 5788 begins at sundown on Friday, October 1, 2027 and ends at nightfall on Sunday, October 3, 2027.
When is Passover 2027?
The first Seder is on the evening of Wednesday, April 21, 2027. Passover lasts eight days outside Israel, to nightfall on Thursday, April 29, 2027.
When is Hanukkah 2027?
The first candle is lit on the evening of Friday, December 24, 2027, Christmas Eve. The eighth and last candle is lit on December 31, and Hanukkah ends on January 1, 2028.
Why do Jewish holidays begin the evening before?
In the Hebrew calendar a day runs from sundown to sundown, following the creation story ("there was evening and there was morning"). So a holiday dated October 2 starts at sundown on October 1.
Why do the dates change every year?
Jewish holidays are fixed in the Hebrew calendar, which follows the moon and adds a 13th month seven times in 19 years to stay in step with the seasons. Against the Gregorian calendar, the dates move by up to a few weeks from year to year. 5787 is a leap year, which is why Passover 2027 is late, on April 22.
