About Hebrew calendar

The Hebrew calendar is lunisolar: months follow the moon, but a leap month added in seven of every 19 years keeps it aligned with the seasons, so Passover always falls in spring.

Years are counted from the traditional date of the creation of the world (Anno Mundi). The new year begins with Rosh Hashanah in the month of Tishrei, usually in September.

Jewish days begin at sunset. Holidays such as Hanukkah or Yom Kippur therefore start on the evening before the date shown here.
