About the Jewish Calendar
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 Madrid displays both Gregorian and Hebrew dates side by side, along with:
- Shabbat candle lighting times — 18 minutes before sunset
- Havdalah times — calculated as 72 minutes after sunset (Rabbeinu Tam opinion); 8.5° (GRA) and 16.1° opinions also available on the Zmanim page
- Jewish holidays — including Yom Tov, fast days, and modern Israeli holidays
- Weekly Torah portion (Parashat HaShavua) — shown every Shabbat
- Rosh Chodesh — the beginning of each new Hebrew month
- Omer count — during the period between Pesach and Shavuot
Use the .ics download button above to import these times into your Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. The file contains 6 months of candle lighting and Havdalah times for Madrid.
Hebrew Calendar Months
The Hebrew calendar has 12 months in a regular year and 13 in a leap year (when Adar II is added). Each month begins with the new moon (Rosh Chodesh). The months do not correspond exactly to Gregorian months — they shift because the lunar year (about 354 days) is shorter than the solar year (365 days).
| Hebrew Month | Transliteration | Typical Gregorian Months | Notable Events |
|---|---|---|---|
| תשרי | Tishrei | September – October | Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shmini Atzeret |
| חשוון | Cheshvan (Marcheshvan) | October – November | Sometimes called "bitter" (no holidays) |
| כסלו | Kislev | November – December | Hanukkah begins on the 25th |
| טבת | Tevet | December – January | Hanukkah ends; Fast of the 10th of Tevet |
| שבט | Sh'vat | January – February | Tu BiShvat (15th) |
| אדר | Adar (Adar II in leap years) | February – March | Purim (14th/15th); in leap years, Purim is in Adar II |
| ניסן | Nissan | March – April | Passover begins on the 15th |
| אייר | Iyar | April – May | Lag BaOmer (18th); Yom HaAtzma'ut |
| סיוון | Sivan | May – June | Shavuot (6th) |
| תמוז | Tammuz | June – July | Fast of the 17th of Tammuz |
| אב | Av | July – August | Tisha B'Av (9th); Tu B'Av (15th) |
| אלול | Elul | August – September | Month of repentance before the High Holidays |
Leap years add a 13th month, Adar II (Adar Sheni), to keep Passover in spring as required by the Torah. Leap years occur in years 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 19 of a 19-year cycle. In a leap year, Purim is celebrated in Adar II.
