Hebrew Calendar

The Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar system used primarily in Judaism for religious observances and holidays. It consists of 12 months in a regular year, or 13 months in a leap year, to align lunar months with the solar year. Each month begins with the new moon, resulting in 29 or 30 days per month. Key holidays, like Passover and Hanukkah, are based on this calendar. The year in the Hebrew calendar is counted from what is traditionally viewed as the creation of the world, making the current year 5784 as of 2023.
