Passover is celebrated, starting on the 15th day of the month of Nissan (Leviticus 23:4; Numbers 9:3,5; 28:16), first month of the Jewish year (on the Hebrew calendar).

On the Gregorian calendar, it falls out primarily in April, but can start as early as March 27.

It is celebrated by lighting the shabbat candles and going to the synagogue.

Answer 2

The Jewish Sabbath is from Friday sundown until Saturday after twilight. The origin of the Shabbat is in the Torah (Genesis ch.2, Leviticus ch.23, Exodus ch.20 and many other passages). Since the Sabbath is a day blessed by God (Genesis ch.2), he gave it to the Israelites as a treasured gift to be cherished (Talmud, Beitzah 15b). It is a day of rest (Exodus ch.20, ch.31), and a day of strengthening ties with the family, the community, and with God.
There are two main aspects to Shabbat observance: what we do and what we don't do.
What we don't do: we're not permitted to work on the Shabbat (Exodus ch.20). This includes 39 categories of productive interaction with the world, such as planting, writing, kindling fire, etc. (Talmud, Shabbat 73b).


What we do: candles are lit, customarily by the lady of the household, around 20 minutes before sunset on Friday afternoon. We then attend synagogue for the Friday afternoon prayer (mincha), the kabbalat Shabbat (ushering in of the Shabbat), and the Shabbat evening prayer (maariv), consecutively.
On Shabbat morning, we again attend synagogue. The services are longer than on weekdays and include prayers as well as reading the weekly Torah-portion.
There's often a kiddush (refreshments) afterwards, and congregants then have a chance to schmooze (to talk). Towards the late afternoon, there's another (short) service (Shabbat mincha).

After Friday night services and on Shabbat morning after services, we come home, often with guests, make kiddush (blessing over wine), and have a leisurely multi-course Shabbat meal including singing and words of Torah. Customarily, that week's Torah-reading (parsha) will be a topic of conversation; and the children of the family will be asked to speak of what they've learned in school.

After that, Shabbat is a quiet time: no phones, radio or TV (etc.), just schmoozing, taking walks, visiting friends, reading, learning Torah, playing Board Games, etc.
Husband and wife, in particular, finally have a chance to be together after a hectic week.

Why didn't Jesus go into hiding after the last supper?

Answer:It was AT THAT TIME and AT THAT PASSOVER of that year, that the prophecy that was the Passover would be fulfilled in Him, according to His Father's plan."...for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us..." (I Cor.5:7).He had either hidden and/or escaped from attempts on His life on other occasions during the previous three years, because Satan had been trying to influence men to kill Him before it was the right time. But, God's will was done.Jesus is the "center" of all seven of God's annual Holy Day feasts, beginning with the Passover (which is not a feast, but a "memorial," 'this do in remembrance of Me')... and each of them will be fulfilled WHEN IT'S THE RIGHT TIME on whatever day they fall, according to scripture, just like the Passover, the feast days of Unleavened Bread that began that next day, and Pentecost, the day the Apostles received the gift of the Holy Spirit on the actual day it was to be observed by law.But, no one knows which year Jesus will fulfill the last four. Nor will He hide when the time comes.


What do Jews sing during the Passover Seder meal?

There are a number of traditional songs with their ancient melodies. They are sung without musical instruments. These include Chad Gadya, Adir Hu, Adir Bimlukhah, Echad Mi Yodea, Dayenu, Ki Lo Yaeh, Vehi She'amdah, and a few others. The words to these are in the text of the Passover Hagadah, which recounts the Exodus. See also:More about the Passover Seder


Was the Last Supper eaten in silence?

No, most likely the Last Supper was instituted in singing, praying, reading from the Old Testament, and talking. The Last Supper was an extension of the celebration of the Jewish Passover. During the Passover meal, as it is still eaten today, there was a lot of activity: solemnity, but also joy and festivity. Jesus used the last elements of the Passover to show that the bread and the wine were representations of His body and blood shed at the cross.


When is a typical Passover meal?
