Jewish holiday

Passover or Purim

A Jewish holiday is any of the religious observances in Judaism, ranging from solemn days of reflection like Yom Kippur to celebratory festivals like Hanukkah and Passover.

Most follow the Hebrew lunar calendar, so their dates shift on the Gregorian calendar each year.
