Re: [IUG] Passover at IUG, anyone?

["Yitzchak Schaffer" <yitzchas at touro dot edu>]

For the record (apologies for off-topic), Passover begins the evening of
Saturday, April 19, 2008.  The seder is held Saturday and Sunday evenings
(19-20), or just Saturday in Israel.  The pre-conference is on the eighth
and final day (in Israel, there are only seven days), which is Sunday, April
27.  The conference proper begins the day after Passover, but for those of
us who completely transform our kitchens and activities for the eight days
of Passover and transform back afterwards (or are away from home), it's a
time of no small upheaval.

According to
http://www.when-is.com/passover-2008.asp
Passover is from sunset Saturday evening April 19, 2008 to sunset Saturday
April 26, 2008.

Now, I am confused.

When is orthodox seder celebrated?  April 19 in 2008?
