Jewish Calendar 101 April - June 2026 | Nissan - Tammuz 5786*

* Holidays begin at sundown on the evening before, concluding at sundown on noted day.

Pesach (Passover )

Yom HaAtzmaut

Pesach is the celebration of the Exodus from Egypt; our journey from a narrow place of slavery to freedom.

The week-long holiday begins with a Seder (order) meal with foods that symbolize this journey, accompanied by the retelling of the exodus story.

This date celebrates the anniversary of Israel’s independence. It was proclaimed when David Ben-Gurion – the de facto leader of the Jewish community – read the declaration of independence.

The Holiday of Our Freedom April 2-9 | 15-22 Nissan

Sefirat HaOmer

Counting of the Omer April 2-May 21 | 15 Nissan-5 Sivan We count the 49 days between Pesach and Shavuot because it took seven weeks to reach Mount Sinai and receive the Torah. Each day of the Counting of the Omer represents spiritual preparation in anticipation of receiving the Torah.

Yom HaShoah

Holocaust Remembrance Day April 14 | 27 Nissan

This year, Yom HaShoah begins at sundown on Wednesday, April 23 and ends at nightfall on Thursday, April 24.

We commemorate the approximately six million Jews and others who perished in the Holocaust due to Nazi Germany. For ceremony details visit jewishcalgary.org.

Yom HaZikaron Israel’s Memorial Day April 21 | 4 Iyar

This year, Yom HaZikaron begins at sundown on Tuesday, April 29 and ends at nightfall on Wednesday, April 30. Israel dedicates this day of remembrance to those who have fallen in defence of the State of Israel and to the victims of terror.

Israel’s Independence Day April 22 | 5 Iyar

Lag BaOmer

33rd Day of Counting of the Omer May 5 | 18 Iyar

This holiday commemorates the passing of the great sage Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, author of the kabbalistic book the Zohar (Book of Splendor), a landmark text of Jewish mysticism. It’s tradition on this day to have picnics and light bonfires.

Yom Yerushalayim Jerusalem Day May 15 | 28 Iyar

National Israeli holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem and the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City in the aftermath of the June 1967 Six-Day War.

Shavuot

The Feast of Weeks May 22-23 | 6-7 Sivan

A doubly significant holiday marking Israel’s wheat harvest, as well as commemorating when the Torah was given to the nation of Israel at Mount Sinai.

It is suitable for everyone as all movements use the body’s own resistance.

Our aqua fitness classes are 50 minutes in length and are led by a team of highlyqualified instructors. The components of all fitness classes include: a warm up, cardiovascular conditioning, muscle and core strengthening, and stretching. There is an average of 16 aqua fitness classes that run weekly. They vary in intensity and fitness level so as to meet the needs and abilities of all our adult and older members.

Aqua Variety A challenging class offering a variety of formats and styles from week to week. This class will rotate from equipment use classes to interval training, tether, and a taste of aqua healing.

As You Choose Participants are free to choose to work out in the deep water wearing a flotation belt or in the shallow water with their feet on the floor.

With careful attention and preparation, the instructor is able to teach to all participants.

Shallow Water Workout Activate your aqua urge for exercise! This class is held in the pool’s shallow end in chest-deep water so your feet are always touching the floor. Shallow water workouts improve agility, coordination, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance. Equipment may be used to develop strength and balance.

Tether Deep Water Workout Aquafit enthusiasts will benefit from this fun cardiovascular workout in the deep water!

There is a strong focus on core stability while performing deep water moves which will result in increased intensity. Participants will find themselves tethered to a lane rope with a bungee cord attached to a belt. Great for beginner to advanced!

AQUATICS

Deep Water Workout Wearing a floatation belt, you submerge yourself in the deep end of a pool for a deep water workout! While your deep water aerobics class has a low impact on your joints, it has an enormous impact on your cardiovascular system with the help of the resistance in the water. Class formats may vary between Tabata, circuit, boot camp or interval.
