My friend is Jewish and she celebrates Jewish holidays too. She celebrates a lot of them actually, so here are some MAJOR holidays: Rosh Hashanah (September 17-18 2012) The Jewish New Year, Yom Kippur (September 26 2012) Day of Atonement, Sukkot (Oct 1-2, 2012 Oct 3-7, 2012) Feast of Tabernacles, Shmini Atzeret (Oct 8, 2012) Eighth Day of Assembly. That's some of them.
Jewish holidays do not fall on fixed dates on the secular calendar, so a holiday that falls on Oct. 3 this year will fall some other day next year. (All Jewish holidays move around the way Easter does on the Christian calendar.) In 2020, however, Succot starts on Oct. 3.

chabad.org is a great site to find all information about Jewish traditions as well as holidays. It has extensive data which is updated for the current year i.e. 2012

The Jewish calendar does not have 365 days; so while there are not Jewish holidays on September 21, 2008 it doesn't mean that's always the case. In the year 2017 the first day of Rosh Hashana will be on September 21. In the year 2002 the first days of Sukkoth was on September 21. Sites like Kaluach allow you to answer these types of questions.
They're called High Holidays, and they're the most important Jewish holidays of the year.
the Jewish holidays = החגים היהודים (pronounced "hakhagim hayehudim")
The holiday of Pesach (Passover) is one of the most important holidays of the Jewish year.
No.
There is a book by Morris Epstein (available through Abebooks) called All About Jewish Holidays and Customs.
This is completely untrue. Jewish holidays today are more important than ever to Jews, regardless of which country they live in.
