religious zionist and modern orthodox jewish religious movements note 28 accept these days as religious as well as national in nature as a rule these four days are not accepted as religious observances by most haredi jews including hasidim some ḥaredim are opposed to the existence of the state of israel altogether on religious grounds others simply feel that there are not sufficient grounds under jewish law to justify the establishment of new religious holidays for details see haredim and zionism observance of these days in jewish communities outside israel is typically more muted than their observance in israel events held in government and public venues within israel are often held in jewish communal settings synagogues and community centers abroad more recently the knesset established two additional holidays yom haaliyah aliyah day a day to commemorate the expulsion of jews from arab lands and iran finally the israeli government also recognizes several ethnic jewish observances with holiday status yom hashoah holocaust remembrance day edit a lit yom hashoah yellow candle yom hashoah nominally 27 nisan yom hashoah lit holocaust day is a day of remembrance for victims of the holocaust its full name is yom hazikaron lashoah v ligevurah lit holocaust and heroism remembrance day יום הזכרון לשואה ולגבורה and reflects a desire to recognize martyrs who died in active resistance to the nazis alongside those who died as passive victims its date 27 nisan was chosen because it commemorates the warsaw ghetto uprising the best known of the armed jewish uprisings note 29 note 30 places of public entertainment are closed throughout israel in recognition of the day 83 public commemoration of yom hashoah usually includes religious elements such as the recitation of psalms memorial prayers and kaddish and the lighting of memorial candles in israel the most notable observances are the state memorial ceremony at yad vashem and the sirens marking off a two minute silence at 10 00 am religious zionist and modern orthodox jews generally participate in such public observances along with secular jews and jews who adhere to more liberal religious movements outside israel jewish communities observe yom hashoah in addition to or instead of their countries holocaust memorial days 83 probably the most notable commemoration is the march of the living held at the site of auschwitz birkenau attended by jews from all parts of the world outside orthodoxy a liturgy for yom hashoah is beginning to develop the conservative reform and reconstructionist prayer books all include liturgical elements for yom hashoah to be added to the regular weekday prayers conservative judaism has written a scroll called megillat hashoah intended to become a definitive liturgical reading for yom hashoah 84 85 the orthodox world even the segment that participates publicly in yom hashoah has been reluctant to write a liturgy for the day preferring to compose kinnot prayers of lamentation for recitation on tisha b av 84 note 31 in order to ensure that public yom hashoah ceremonies in israel do not violate shabbat prohibitions the date for yom hashoah varies note 32 as follows if 27 nisan occurs on a friday the observance of yom hashoah is advanced to the previous day thursday 26 nisan if 27 nisan occurs on a sunday the observance of yom hashoah is delayed to the following day monday 28 nisan yom hazikaron memorial day edit a moment of silence as the siren is sounded in tel aviv yom hazikaron 2007 yom hazikaron nominally 4 iyar yom hazikaron lit memorial day is a day of remembrance of the fallen of israel s wars during the first years of israel s independence this remembrance was observed on yom ha atzmaut independence day itself however by 1951 the memorial observance was separated from the festive celebration of independence day and moved to its current date the day before yom ha atzmaut 86 note 33 since 2000 the scope of the memorial has expanded to include civilians slain by acts of hostile terrorism its full name is now יום הזכרון לחללי מערכות ישראל ולנפגעי פעולות האיבה day of remembrance for the fallen of the battles of israel and the victims of terror 87 places of public entertainment are closed throughout israel in recognition of the day 88 many schools businesses and other institutions conduct memorial services on this day and it is customary to visit the graves of fallen soldiers and to recite memorial prayers there the principal public observances are the evening opening ceremony at the western wall and the morning services of remembrance at military cemeteries throughout the country each opened by the sounding of sirens the public observances conclude with the service at the military cemetery on mount herzl that serves as the transition to yom ha atzmaut outside israel yom hazikaron observances are often folded into yom ha atzmaut celebrations within israel yom hazikaron is always the day before yom ha atzmaut but that date moves to prevent violation of sabbath prohibitions during the ceremonies of either day see following section for details yom ha atzmaut israel independence day edit the final round of the international bible contest here in 1985 is held on yom ha atzmaut jerusalem day celebrations yom ha atzmaut nominally 5 iyar yom ha atzmaut יום העצמאות is israel s independence day observance of this day by jews inside and outside israel is widespread 89 and varies in tone from secular military parades and barbecues to religious recitation of hallel and new liturgies although israel s independence was declared on a friday the chief rabbinate has long been mindful of the possibility of yom ha atzmaut and yom hazikaron observances leading to violation of sabbath prohibitions to prevent such violations the dates of yom hazikaron and yom ha atzmaut vary note 32 as follows if 4 5 iyar occur on a sunday monday the observances are delayed to monday tuesday 5 6 iyar if 4 5 iyar occur on a tuesday wednesday the observances are not moved if 4 5 iyar occur on a thursday friday the observances are advanced to wednesday thursday 3 4 iyar if 4 5 iyar occur on a friday shabbat the observances are advanced to wednesday thursday 2 3 iyar nearly all non ḥaredi jewish religious communities have incorporated changes or enhancements to the liturgy in honor of yom ha atzmaut and suspend the mourning practices of the period of sefirat ha omer see yom ha atzmaut religious customs for details within the religious zionist and modern orthodox communities these changes are not without controversy and customs continue to evolve 90 ḥaredi religious observance of yom ha atzmaut varies widely a few ḥaredim especially sefardic ḥaredim celebrate the day in a reasonably similar way to the way non ḥaredim do 91 most ḥaredim simply treat the day indifferently i e as a regular day 90 and finally others notably satmar ḥasidim and neturei karta mourn on the day because of their opposition to the enterprise of the state of israel 92 yom yerushalayim jerusalem day edit yom yerushalayim 28 iyar jerusalem day יום ירושלים marks the 1967 reunification of jerusalem under israeli control during the six day war this marked the first time in 19 years that the temple mount was accessible to jews and the first time since the destruction of the second temple 1897 years earlier that the temple mount was under jewish political control as with yom ha atzmaut celebrations of yom yerushalayim range from completely secular including hikes to jerusalem and a large parade through downtown jerusalem to religious recitation of hallel and new liturgies although haredim do not participate in the liturgical changes they are somewhat more likely to celebrate yom yerushalayim than the other modern israeli holidays because of the importance of the liberation of the western wall and the old city of jerusalem 93 outside israel observance of yom yerushalayim is widespread especially in orthodox circles it has not gained as widespread acceptance as yom ha atzmaut especially among more politically liberal jews because of the continuing conflicts over the future of the city 94 yom yerushalayim has not traditionally moved to avoid shabbat desecration although in 2012 the chief rabbinate began some efforts in that direction 95 yom haaliyah aliyah day edit yom haaliyah 10 nisan joshua passing the river jordan with the ark of the covenant by benjamin west aliyah day יום העלייה is an israeli national holiday celebrated annually on the tenth of nisan 96 the day was established to acknowledge aliyah immigration to the jewish state as a core value of the state of israel and honor the ongoing contributions of olim immigrants to israeli society 97 immigration to israel is a recognized religious value of judaism sometimes referred to as the gathering of israel 98 the date chosen for yom haaliyah 10 nisan has religious significance it is the day on which joshua and the israelites crossed the jordan river at gilgal into the promised land it was thus the first documented mass aliyah 99 the alternative date observed in the school system 7 heshvan falls during the week of the torah portion in which god instructs abraham to leave his home and his family and go up to the land of israel 100 at the present time observance of this day appears to be secular in nature citation needed day to commemorate the expulsion of jews from arab lands and iran edit day to mark the departure and expulsion of jews from the arab countries and iran 30 november on the gregorian calendar the knesset established this observance in 2014 the purpose of this observance is to recognize the collective trauma of mizrahi jews during the period around the establishment of the state of israel many mizrachi jews felt that their own suffering was being ignored both in comparison to the suffering of european jewry during the holocaust and in comparison to the palestinian nakba the gregorian calendar date chosen is the day after the united nations partition plan for palestine was adopted as that date marked the beginning of concentrated pressure and hostility against the community 101 at the present time observance of this day appears to be secular in nature national remembrance day for october 7 attack and gaza war edit 24 tishrei 25 tishrei if 24 tishrei coincides with shabbat the israeli government established this national remembrance day in march 2024 it is designed to be a national remembrance day for those who died in the october 7 attacks and the gaza war as a whole 102 ethnic holidays edit main articles mimouna seharane and sigd the israeli government officially recognizes three traditional holidays of ethnic jewish communities in israel these days are also observed by their respective communities outside israel mimouna began as a holiday among moroccan jews while similar celebrations also exist among turkish jews and persian jews 103 these festivals are observed on the day after passover when the eating of ordinary food chametz resumes in israel the observance of mimouna has spread widely in recent years it has been estimated that up to two million jews who live in israel now participate in mimouna celebrations 104 on the evening concluding passover note 34 the celebration centers on visiting the homes of friends and neighbors jewish and non jewish a variety of traditional foods are served and symbols which represent good luck and prosperity are prominently displayed the next day barbecues and picnics are among the most widespread activities of the celebration 105 the seharane was celebrated by kurdish jews as a multi day nature festival starting the day after passover communities would leave their villages and camp out for several days celebrating with eating and drinking nature walks singing and dancing its observance was interrupted after the relocation of this community to israel in the 1950s in recent years it has been revived but because of the already widespread celebration of mimouna in israel the celebration of the seharane was moved to chol hamoed sukkot 106 the sigd began among the beta israel ethiopian community as a variation of the observance of yom kippur currently that community now observes it in addition to yom kippur its date is 29 heshvan 49 days after yom kippur it shares some features of yom kippur shavuot and other holidays 107 the sigd is modeled on a ceremony of fasting study and prayer described in nehemiah 8 when the jews rededicated themselves to religious observance on return to israel after the babylonian exile 108 in ethiopia the community would gather on a mountaintop and pray for a return to jerusalem the modern sigd is centered on a promenade overlooking the old city of jerusalem the day s observance ends with a celebratory break fast 109 see also edit judaism portal holidays portal chabad holidays

jews on the second day of yom tov including rosh hashanah burial is permitted even if the bulk of the associated melacha is done by jews in modern times it is extremely unusual for a yom tov burial to occur except on the second day of rosh hashanah in jerusalem 13 further details are beyond the scope of this article there is a practice for women to refrain from some types of labor on rosh chodesh see rosh chodesh and women this is especially though not exclusively true outside the us for example masorti judaism in israel and the uk rejects north american conservatism s position to permit
