Brief explanations of the Jewish holidays from the Frequently Asked Questions of the newsgroup soc.culture.jewish.

Holocaust Remembrance Day
Yom HaShoah or Holocaust Remembrance Day occurs on the 27th of Nisan. It is important for all of us to take pause and offer acknowledgment, reverence and our own contemplations on such a difficult moment in history.

Passover

Purim

The Counting of the Omer
Not exactly a holiday, the Counting of the Omer takes place between Passover and Shavuot. It connects us from the physical liberation of Passover to the upcoming spiritual liberation of Shavuot.

The Three Weeks & Tisha B'Av
On July 20th, the 17th of Tammuz, we begin a period of time known as The Three Weeks. This is a great period of mourning for the Jewish people.

Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut
In the United States, Memorial Day often comes and goes with little more than a day off of school and work. Yom HaZikaron - Israel’s Memorial Day - arrives right before Yom Ha’Atzmaut - Israel’s Independence Day. There is hardly a person in Israel who does not take pause for contemplation and then celebration during these two days.
