1. hebrew calendar

   The Hebrew calendar, also called the Jewish calendar, is a lunisolar calendar used mainly in Jewish religious observance and tradition. It's used to determine the dates for Jewish holidays, the appropriate Torah readings for the week, the Yahrzeits (commemoration dates for the death of close relatives), and the specific timing for certain Jewish rituals. It consists of 12 or 13 months, with some adjustments to align with the solar cycle, including the occasional addition of a leap month.

1. Hebrew calendar

   The Hebrew or Jewish calendar is a lunisolar calendar used today predominantly for Jewish religious observances. It determines the dates for Jewish holidays and the appropriate public reading of Torah portions, yahrzeits, and daily Psalm readings, among many ceremonial uses. In Israel, it is an official calendar for civil purposes and provides a time frame for agriculture. The current year of the Jewish calendar is AM 5773. The Hebrew calendar has evolved over time. For example, until the Tannaitic period the months were set by observation of a new crescent moon, with an additional month added every two or three years to correct for the difference between twelve lunar months and the solar year and, therefore, to keep Passover in the spring. The addition of the extra month was also based on observation of natural events: specifically, the ripening of the barley crop; the age of the kids, lambs, and doves; the ripeness of the fruit trees; and the relation of the date to the tekufah. Through the Amoraic period and into the Geonic period, this system was displaced by mathematical rules. The principles and rules appear to have been settled by the time Maimonides compiled the Mishneh Torah in the 12th century.25
