To be precise, they are only nidche if Pesah starts on Tuesday, like this
year. If it starts on Shabbat or Sunday they are brought forward to
Wednesday & Thursday. If my memory is accurate, the bringing forward has
always been in practice, but the postponement from Sunday-Monday to
Monday-Tuesday was introduced later, within the last 10 or 20 years. When I
was first in Israel in the 1980s, YHA was still sometimes observed on a
Monday.
