Israeli Jewish Holidays
The beginning of the holiday
All Jewish holidays start the evening before the actual date. The reason
is that a Jewish "day" starts with sunset and finishes with the next sunset,
and therefore not starts and finishes at midnight. When you read the story
of the Creation in Genesis 1, you will notice that there is written: "And the
evening and the morning were …" (From that we have concluded that a day
starts at night, this means after sunset). For this reason Shabbat and all
holidays start at sunset and they end when three stars appear in the sky.
