🇧🇷Does Brazil have Days of the Jewish calendar?

Not observed here

Brazil's national holidays sit in Law No. 662 of 1949, whose first article was rewritten by Law No. 10,607 of 2002: 1 January, 21 April, 1 May, 7 September, 2 November, 15 November and 25 December. The official 2026 calendar published by the Ministry of Management adds Good Friday and Our Lady of Aparecida as national holidays and leaves Carnival and Corpus Christi as ponto facultativo, discretionary days that each body decides for itself. No Jewish date appears anywhere. But Brazil has one piece the other six do not: Law No. 13,796 of 2019 inserted Article 7-A into the Law of Directives and Bases of Education (Law No. 9,394 of 1996), guaranteeing any enrolled student, at any level, public or private, the right on prior and reasoned request to be absent from a test or a class scheduled on a day their religion forbids such activity — and obliging the institution to offer, at no cost, one of two alternatives: a make-up test or class on another date, or a written assignment whose topic, aim and deadline the institution sets. Completing the alternative replaces the original obligation for every purpose, including the attendance record. The law rests on the conscientious objection clause of Article 5, VIII of the Constitution and names no festival at all, so it covers the Sabbath and Yom Kippur alike; it does not apply to military education, and institutions were given two years to adapt.
