Passover in 2025 lasts 7 or 8 days , depending on where and how you observe it. In 2025 it runs from the evening of Saturday April 12, 2025 through either the evening of Saturday April 19 (7 days, as in Israel and some Reform communities) or through the evening of Sunday April 20 (8 days, as kept in most communities outside Israel).

How long is Passover 2025?

Quick Scoop

Passover 2025 does not fall on fixed “calendar dates” every year because it follows the Hebrew month of Nisan, but for 2025 we know the exact start and end times. The key detail: it is always a week‑long festival, with the length differing slightly between Israel and most of the Jewish diaspora.

Core dates for 2025

• Start: At sundown on Saturday, April 12, 2025 (15 Nisan).

• End (7‑day observance): Nightfall on Saturday, April 19, 2025 (21 Nisan), followed by regular weekday after that.

• End (8‑day observance): Nightfall on Sunday, April 20, 2025 (22 Nisan).

So:

• In Israel and many Reform/liberal communities : 7 days (April 12–19, 2025, evenings to evenings).

• In most traditional communities outside Israel : 8 days (April 12–20, 2025, evenings to evenings).

Simple day‑count breakdown

To make it concrete, counting from the evening of April 12:

1. Night of April 12 → Day of April 13: Day 1 (Seder night and first day).

2. Night of April 13 → Day of April 14: Day 2 (second Seder in many communities outside Israel).

3. Days 3–6: Intermediate days (Chol HaMoed), work is more flexible but Passover food rules continue.

4. Day 7: Final day in Israel (holy day).

5. Day 8: Additional final day observed in many communities outside Israel.
