Purim is the happiest and most fun of Jewish Holidays and is celebrated on the 14th of Adar (the twelth month of the Jewish Calendar).

We remember the plagues and the Israelites' journey during the eight days of Passover.

Shavuot is sometimes called the Feast of the Pentecost, when it is traditional to eat dairy foods.

Yom Kippur- the day of Atonement - is the most holy and solemn day of the year for Jewish people.

Rosh Hashanah is, of course, the New Year and literally means ' Head of the Year', starting on the first day of Tishrei and lasting two days.

Succot begins five days after Yom Kippur on l5th day of Tishrei and lasts for seven days. There is a great difference between the two festivals one being so solemn and the other being very happy and joyful.

Simchat Torah translates to 'Rejoicing with the Torah', the day we finish the annual reading of the Torah and start all over again.
