<P> Passover commences on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Nisan and lasts for either seven days ( in Israel and for Reform Jews and other progressive Jews around the world who adhere to the Biblical commandment ) or eight days for Orthodox , Hasidic , and most Conservative Jews ( in the diaspora ) . In Judaism , a day commences at dusk and lasts until the following dusk , thus the first day of Passover only begins after dusk of the 14th of Nisan and ends at dusk of the 15th day of the month of Nisan . The rituals unique to the Passover celebrations commence with the Passover Seder when the 15th of Nisan has begun . In the Northern Hemisphere Passover takes place in spring as the Torah prescribes it : `` in the month of ( the ) spring '' ( בחדש האביב Exodus 23 : 15 ) . It is one of the most widely observed Jewish holidays . </P>
