Passover FAQs

What is Passover?

Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is one of the most important Jewish holidays, commemorating the Israelites’ liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt. The holiday lasts for seven or eight days, depending on tradition, and is observed with rituals that emphasize remembrance, reflection and family togetherness.

Central to Passover is the Seder, a ceremonial meal that includes reading the Haggadah, eating symbolic foods like matzah and bitter herbs and retelling the story of the Exodus. Beyond its historical significance, Passover is a time to celebrate freedom, gratitude and the enduring values of hope and resilience.

When is Passover 2026?

Passover begins before sundown on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, and ends after nightfall on April 9, 2026. Passover begins on the same day of the Hebrew calendar every year, on the 15th day of Nisan. Because Passover follows the lunar cycle, though, the date changes every year in the Gregorian calendar.

Do you say “Happy Passover” if you’re not Jewish?

Yes, you can wish someone a “Happy Passover” even if you’re not Jewish. Doing so is a kind and thoughtful way to acknowledge the holiday and show that you respect and celebrate your friend’s or loved one’s traditions. Just keep your message sincere and considerate, focusing on joy, freedom and togetherness, so it feels warm and inclusive rather than performative. It’s a simple gesture that can strengthen friendships and spread the spirit of the holiday.

When should I send my Passover wishes?

Since Passover is a multi-day celebration, sending your wishes early ensures they reach recipients before the Seder or during the first days of the festival, when the holiday’s themes of freedom, reflection and togetherness are most meaningful. With an American Greetings membership, you can easily share Passover cards through text, email or messaging apps. This is a great way to upgrade your greetings, letting someone you care about know that you understand Passover is an important part of their life.
