Additional Calendar Information:

The last day for Kiddush Levonoh 15 Nisan

One can make Kiddush Levonoh in the entire world until Thursday morning, 15 Nisan (April 1), at 6:06 A.M., according to the Summer Clock, Israeli time. The final time is therefore on leil yom tov of Pesach for someone who bedi'eved did not yet make Kiddush Levonohin since otherwise he will forfeit the brocho altogether. People living in the eastern countries and Eretz Yisroel and part of Europe can make a brocho during that whole night. In part of Europe and America one cannot make a brocho except according to the difference in time zones in comparison to Eretz Yisroel. In western USA and Canada one can make Kiddush Levonoh until 8:06 P.M. and in the extreme western countries it is altogether impossible to make Kiddush Levonoh on this night and their final time is the entire night of bedikas chometz.

The astronomical full moon is on Thursday morning at 1:49 A.M., approximately four and a half hours earlier than the nigud emtzo'i.
