Eve Of Passover On Shabbat
In Judaism, when the Eve of Passover (Hebrew: ערב פסח, ''Erev Pesach'') falls on Shabbat, special laws regarding the preparation for Passover are observed. Fast of the Firstborn When the Eve of Passover falls on Shabbat, the Fast of the Firstborn customarily takes place on the preceding Thursday, instead of the day before (Friday). This is because it is forbidden to fast on Shabbat (except when it coincides with Yom Kippur), and it is preferable not to fast on Friday. Search for ''chametz'' Normally, the search for ''chametz'' ( leavened bread) occurs on the night of the 14th of Nisan, which is one night before the start of Passover. When this night is a Friday, the search for ''chametz'' takes place one night earlier (on the 13th), since use of a candle and the act of burning ''chametz'' are forbidden on Shabbat. The ''chametz'' is then burned on Friday morning. It is normally forbidden to eat before conducting the search for ''chametz'', which is carried out by the fi ...

Days Of Week On Hebrew Calendar
The modern Hebrew calendar has been designed to ensure that certain holy days and festivals do not fall on certain days of the week. As a result, there are only four possible patterns of days on which festivals can fall. (Note that Jewish days start at sunset of the preceding day indicated in this article.) Hebrew week days Reasons The modern Hebrew calendar has been arranged so that Yom Kippur does not fall on a Friday (Yom Shishi) or Sunday (Yom Rishon), and Hoshana Rabbah does not fall on Shabbat. These rules have been instituted because Shabbat restrictions also apply to Yom Kippur, and if Yom Kippur were to fall on Friday (Yom Shishi), it would not be possible to make necessary preparations for Shabbat, including candle lighting, because the preceding day is Yom Kippur. Similarly, if Yom Kippur fell on a Sunday (Yom Rishon), it would not be possible to make the necessary preparations for Yom Kippur, including candle lighting, because the preceding day is Shabbat.The Talmu ...

Shemini Atzeret
Shemini Atzeret (—"Eighth [day] of Assembly") is a Jewish holidays, Jewish holiday. It is celebrated on the 22nd day of the Hebrew calendar, Hebrew month of Tishrei, usually coinciding with late September or early October. It directly follows the festival of Sukkot, which is celebrated for ''seven'' days; thus, Shemini Atzeret is literally the ''eighth'' day [of assembly]. It is a separate—yet connected—holy day devoted to the spiritual aspects of the festival of Sukkot. Part of its duality as a holy day is that it is simultaneously considered to be connected to Sukkot and a separate festival in its own right. Outside the Land of Israel, this is further complicated by the Yom tov sheni shel galuyot, additional day added to all Biblical holidays except Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.Talmud, ''Beitza'' 4b. Shemini Atzeret is thus sometimes wrongly regarded as the eighth day of Sukkot outside the Land of Israel, leading to sometimes involved analysis as to which practices of ea ...
