Jewish Calendar and Date Calculator. Judaism uses a calendar of its own, a combination of a lunar and a solar calendar. The date calendar makes it easy to convert dates from and into the Jewish and Gregorian calendars. The Jewish calendar follows what is known as the lunisolar year.
Rosh Chodesh — which literally means “head of the month” — is the minor holiday that marks the beginning of every Hebrew month. The Jewish calendar, which combines both lunar and solar aspects, has 12 months (and 13 in leap years); half of these months are 30 days long and half are 29 days.
Background and History. The Jewish calendar is primarily lunar, with each month beginning on the new moon, when the first sliver of moon becomes visible after the dark of the moon. In ancient times, the new months used to be determined by observation. When people observed the new moon, they would notify the Sanhedrin.
