About the Hebrew Calendar
The Hebrew Calendar is a lunisolar calendar, meaning its months are based on the cycles of the moon, while its year is aligned with the solar year. This calendar is the official calendar of Israel and is used by Jewish people worldwide for religious and cultural purposes. Our interactive tool allows you to explore this ancient and fascinating system with ease.
Understanding the Calendar
Unlike the Gregorian calendar, a new day in the Hebrew calendar begins at sunset. This is why holidays like Passover or Rosh Hashanah are observed starting the evening before the civil date listed. The calendar also includes leap months (Adar I) in specific years of a 19-year cycle to ensure that holidays like Passover remain in the spring.
