The Jewish calendar (also known as the Hebrew calendar) is a lunisolar calendar used to determine the dates of Jewish holidays, Torah readings, and daily prayers. Each month begins with a new moon, and leap years add a 13th month (Adar II) seven times every 19 years to stay aligned with the solar year.
This monthly calendar for Jerusalem displays both Gregorian and Hebrew dates side by side, along with:
- Shabbat candle lighting times — 40 minutes before sunset (Jerusalem custom: 40 minutes)
