- In Hebrew: "שימלא חג החירות את ליבך בשמחה ומילוי" (Shimla Chag haChirut et libecha b'simcha u'milui).
The Best Time to Give Passover Greetings
Since Passover lasts for 7/8 days (7 days in Israel and 8 days outside Israel), it is appropriate to wish your friends or colleagues a Happy Passover during any of these days. No day is too late to extend your wishes during the holiday.
However, if possible, giving wishes during the first 2 days is more common among the Jewish community. This time frame aligns with the Seder meals and is when the holiday begins with great significance. So, if you want to follow the tradition closely, offering your Passover greetings during the initial 2 days would be ideal.
Passover 2025 is from April 12th to 20th. We wish all Jewish people a "Chag Pesach sameach!" — "Happy Passover Festival!"
