This site is perfect. We have a small company and we just hired a Jewish worker. (At the beginning of October... yikes!) Needless to say I rushed to the internet to understand all his days off! Now I understand much better and we can schedule days that work for everyone!
Thank you!

Excellent Resource
Thanks for this excellent resource. I have used it to remind our Jewish members on our multifaith forum of the days and dates!
Shalom!

Yizkor
A yahrtzeit candle is lit and yizkor is said on Yom Kippur, Shemini Atzeret, the last day of Passover and on the second day of Shavuot. For more info on Yizkor practices see Yizkor: Recalling the Dead.
The Jewish calendar date begins at sundown of the night beforehand. Thus all holidays observances begin the night before the dates listed. The exception to this rule is fast days, which begin at dawn of the date shown below (aside for Tisha b'Av and Yom Kippur which also begin the night before). Jewish calendar dates conclude at nightfall.
