1. Happy Passover — Chag Pesach Sameach

3. Happy Pesach

Pesach (pronounced /pay-suk/) is the Hebrew word for Passover. This wish is similar to the expression "Happy Passover" but by using the Hebrew word, you can show your friends, colleagues, and others your interest in and understanding of their culture.

4. Kosher and Joyous Passover — Chag Pesach kasher ve sameach

Compared to the simple "Happy Passover", this greeting is more formal. It is suitable to send to those who are strict observers of Passover. It acknowledges those who keep their homes kosher for Passover by removing all chametz, or leavened grains, from their residence in advance of the holiday. It conveys wishes for a religiously/spiritually acceptable and joyous celebration.

  • 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 2024 is from April 22nd to 30th. We wish all Jewish people a "Chag Pesach sameach!" — "Happy Passover Festival!"
