Passover: A Brief Detour (For Those Who Need It)
Just in case you're new to the Passover party, let's do a quick recap. Passover is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. It's a time for family, feasting, and, let's be honest, a whole lot of complaining about eating matzo.
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
When Does Passover Actually End?
Alright, let's cut to the chase. Passover typically lasts for eight days. The first two days and the last two days are considered full holidays, meaning you can't work or drive (unless you're really, really desperate). The other days are called Chol Hamoed, which is basically Passover's version of a chill weekend.
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
But when does it really end? Well, that depends on who you ask. Traditionally, Passover ends on the evening of the seventh day. But there's also a thing called Yom Tov Sheini, which is an extra day of celebration observed in certain communities. So, if you're in NYC, chances are you'll be celebrating for nine days.
