This is an almanac-like listing of major Jewish holidays from 2000 to 2050. All Jewish holidays begin at sunset on the evening before the date shown. Note also that the date given for Simchat Torah is for outside of Israel.[1] On holidays marked "*", Jews are not permitted to work. Because the Hebrew calendar no longer relies on observation but is now governed by precise mathematical rules, it is possible to provide, for the future, the Gregorian calendar date on which a holiday will fall.

On the Israeli calendar, and in Reform and other modernist traditions, Simchat Torah and Shemini Atzeret are observed as a single holiday. Rest from all work and school is commanded for the first day, or the first two days in some traditions. Rest from all work and school is commanded for the first and seventh days, and also the second and eighth days in some traditions. If this date falls on a Friday, the observance is moved to the previous Thursday (see Michael Strassfeld, The Jewish Holidays: A Guide & Commentary, pg. 240). If it falls on a Sunday, observance is moved to the following Monday (ref. Act of Knesset, effective 1997).
