The Jewish holidays are very unique and special days of the year. They are not merely commemorations of past events, rather, they are celebrations in which we can truly experience the ideas the holidays represent. For example, the holiday of Passover is not just about remembering that G-d took us out of Egypt, it is a time in which we are capable of actually experiencing true freedom.
The Jewish date always begins at sundown of the night before. Therefore, all holidays start in the evening of the previous English date listed.
