How the Jewish calendar works, and how to request days off
A calendar set by the moon and the sun
The biblical calendar is lunar-solar. Each month begins with the new moon, Rosh Chodesh, and lasts 29 or 30 days. Hashem gave this calendar to Israel as its very first commandment as a nation: “This month shall be unto you the beginning of months” (Exodus 12:2). The moon was made “for appointed times” (mo’adim, Psalm 104:19), and the New Moon was marked with offerings and the sounding of trumpets (Numbers 10:10; 28:11–15).
Twelve lunar months are about 11 days shorter than a solar year, so a thirteenth month, Adar I, is added seven times in every 19 years. This keeps Pesach in the spring, “the month of Aviv” (Deuteronomy 16:1). 5787 is a leap year, so it has both Adar I and Adar II. Today’s calculated calendar was fixed by Hillel II around 359 CE so that Jews everywhere keep the same days.
The year has two beginnings: Nisan is the first month for counting the festivals (Exodus 12:2), and Tishrei, when Rosh Hashanah falls, begins the new year number.
Every day begins at evening
In the Torah, a day runs from evening to evening: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Genesis 1:5). Of Yom Kippur Hashem says, “From evening to evening shall you keep your Sabbath” (Leviticus 23:32). So every Shabbat and holiday begins at sundown on the evening before the date shown on a regular calendar, and ends at nightfall, when three stars are visible, on its last day.
- Candle lighting is 18 minutes before sunset. The times on this page are for Dallas.
- Nightfall (when the day ends, and Havdalah is said) is roughly 40 to 50 minutes after sunset.
- A holiday listed as “Thursday” really starts Wednesday evening.
Which days are work days?
- Shabbat and yom tov (the first and last days of Pesach, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, the first days of Sukkot, and Shemini Atzeret / Simchat Torah) are “holy convocations” on which “you shall do no servile work” (Leviticus 23:7–8, 21, 25, 35–36). On yom tov, unlike Shabbat, cooking for the day is allowed (Exodus 12:16).
- Chol HaMoed, the middle days of Pesach and Sukkot, are festival days on which necessary work is permitted, but many take vacation days if they can.
- Minor holidays, New Moons, special Shabbatot and modern Israeli days are ordinary work days.
- Fasts: minor fasts run from dawn to nightfall and work is allowed. Yom Kippur and Tisha B’Av run from sundown to nightfall the next day, about 25 hours.
Two days outside the Land
In ancient times the new month was announced in Jerusalem by witnesses who saw the new moon, and messengers could not always reach distant communities in time. Communities outside Israel therefore kept two days of each festival to be certain, and this custom continues today. This page follows the practice outside Israel, as we keep it in Dallas.
How to calculate the days to request off
The rule: a holiday dated D starts at sundown on the evening before D and ends at nightfall on its last day. Ask for every work shift that overlaps that window.
If you work a day shift
- Request each yom tov date off.
- On the eve, leave early enough to be home and settled before candle lighting. In Dallas winters, sunset can be before 5:30 pm, so Fridays and holiday eves may need an early departure.
- After nightfall on the last day you are free, so evening commitments are usually fine.
If you work a night shift
- A night shift that starts on the eve falls inside the holiday, so request that shift off too.
- On the last day, a shift that starts before nightfall is still inside the holiday. Request it off, or ask to start after the time the holiday ends.
- Night workers usually need one more shift off than day workers for the same holiday.
Example: the last days of Pesach 5787. Yom tov begins Tuesday, April 27, 2027 at 7:48 pm (candle lighting) and ends Thursday, April 29 at 8:47 pm.
| Shift | Tue, Apr 27 | Wed, Apr 28 | Thu, Apr 29 | Request off |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day, 8 am – 5 pm | Work; leave in time for 7:48 pm | Off | Off | 2 days: Wed and Thu |
| Night, 7 pm – 7 am | Off (holiday starts 7:48 pm) | Off | Off, or start after 8:47 pm | 3 nights: Tue, Wed and Thu |
Tips: request time off early and give your manager the exact start and end times. When a holiday runs straight into Shabbat (as the first days of Pesach do this year, Thursday to Saturday night), plan for the whole stretch. In the United States, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act requires most employers to reasonably accommodate religious observance unless it causes undue hardship; this is general information, not legal advice.
