DESCRIPTION:

All Hebrew calendar months begin and end at sundown. LEEP Calendar marks Jewish months beginning the first full day. Observant people of the faith will begin marking the month sundown the day prior. Iyyar (translates to ‘blossoming’) is the eighth month of the Jewish calendar. Iyyar generally falls within April and May. Holidays include four relating to the state of Israel and two related to the faith.

POLITICAL/SECULAR HOLIDAYS IN IYYAR

4th: Yom Hazikaron = Israeli Memorial Day, marking the anniversary of the survival of Maimonides from a storm in 1165 AD. This day always precedes Yom HaAtzmaut and will move its date earlier or later if the actual date falls on a Saturday.

5th: Yom HaAtzmaut = Creation of Israel in 1948. This day will move its date earlier or later if the actual date falls on a Saturday.

10th: Herzl Day = Anniversary of the creator of Zionism, Theodore Herzl’s, birth.

28th: Yom Yirushalayim = Jerusalem day marking the 1967 military capture of East Jerusalem and its transfer to Israeli control. Israelis refer to this as the ‘reunification of Jerusalem’. The non-Jewish population refers to it as the ‘occupation of East Jerusalem’.

RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES IN IYYAR

14th: Pesach Sheini = The second Passover

18th: Lag Ba'Omer = Marks the anniversary of the death of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai in. He is associated with the sect of Judaism which practices mysticism, is guided by kabbalah and instructed in the Zohar.
