Jewish holidays

Thanks to the Hebrew calendar, Jewish history is never abandoned or forgotten. Jews celebrate or commemorate – from destruction to rebirth.

See when the fast begins and ends in your area.

On Tisha B'av, the Jewish people mourn the two destructions of the First and Second Temples of Jerusalem. Here is everything you need to know.

The future of Israel will not be determined only by where its borders are drawn but by whether the nation remembers what made it a nation in the first place.

Carrying yesterday’s forms unchanged into altered reality can itself become a kind of falsehood.
