Jewish Calendar 101
January - March 2026 | Tevet - Nissan 5786*
* Holidays begin at sundown on the evening before, concluding at sundown on noted day.
Tu B’Shevat
February 2 | 15 Shevat
Also known as the New Year of the Trees because it was used for calculating the age of trees for tithing. The Torah teaches that fruit from a tree may not be eaten during the first three years; the fourth year’s fruit is for G-d, and after this, you can eat the fruit. It is customary to eat a new fruit on this holiday or to eat from the Seven Species (shivat haminim) that are abundant in Israel. The Seven Species are: wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives,and dates. Some people also plant trees on this day. Tu B’Shevat began as a minor holiday marked by a festive meal and it has grown into a modern Jewish Earth Day. It is an opportunity to celebrate our growing sense of environmental responsibility and Jewish tradition.
Purim
March 3 | 14 Adar
Fast of Esther
March 2 | 13 Adar
This fast, also called Ta’anit Esther, is from dawn until dusk on Purim eve, commemorating the three-day fast observed by the Jewish people in the story of Purim.
This jolly festivity commemorates the defeat of Haman’s plot, the prime minister of King Ahasuerus of the Persian Empire. During 357 BCE, Haman planned to massacre the Jews, as recorded in the book of Esther in the Torah. The Jews were saved by the heroic Queen Esther, who married Ahasuerus. When Ahasuerus discovered that his wife Esther was Jewish, he decided to reverse Haman’s decree, and instead of the Jews being killed, Haman, his sons, and other enemies were killed instead. We celebrate dressing up in costume, some people choose to dress as characters from the Purim story. It is a mitzvah (commandment) to listen to the story of Purim chanted from Megillat Esther (The Scroll of Esther). We also send mishloach manot, packages of treats and goodies to friends and family. A traditional cookie is eaten called Hamantaschen, which our Adults 55+ department at the JCC bake every year!
Shushan Purim
March 4 | 15 Adar
The battles fought between the Jews and their enemies throughout the Persian empire took place on 13th of Adar 13. The Jews rested and celebrated the victory on the following day. However, the fighting lasted longer in the Persian capital of Shushan. The victory celebration was held on the 15th of Adar in Shushan.
