The memorial is on March 23 this year. But all the official Jewish calendars has Nissan 14 as April 22! April 22 is the start of Passover! I remember this happened a year or so ago.....but has anyone heard or told an explanation for the discrepancy? I mean I'd imagine the Jewish faith and nation may have a better handle on their own calendar then a group of guys sitting in NY!

The Jews work from the ASTRONOMICAL New Moon, the WT works from when they think the New Moon will be VISIBLE over Jerusalem.

What?! How did they get so off. And my kitchen calendar says passover is April 23rd. Is it 23 after sundown starts Nissan 14 or 22nd after sundown. Jewish days are sunset to sunset right? -

It is interesting how it turned-out this year. BTW, does anybody have the numbers on the memorial partakers from last year and how much of an increase from 2014. -

What would the Jews know about Passover over the WT org?
Not like they were the ones who invented Passover....... oh

That's a shocking jump in partakers. Maybe we will see a 10,000 jump one of these years.

Well last year the local dubs got a surprise. While everyone was passing crackers and wine, someone put anti-JW flyers all over the parking lot on the JW's cars etc. Wasn't me but wished I had thought of it.
