Today on the Hebrew calendar
Today
Convert any date.
Choose a date in the field above, or step a day at a time with the arrows, and the page gives its Hebrew date: the day, the month in Hebrew letters, and the year, with Rosh Chodesh marked.
A date in the address converts too, so a converted date can be shared: hebrew-date.html#2027-04-22.
A fixed calendar.
The rabbinic calendar was set down by Hillel II in the fourth century: months follow the moon, years follow the sun, and seven years in every nineteen have a thirteenth month, Adar I.
So the date can be worked out ahead, and your browser works it out here.
The day begins at sunset.
A Hebrew date runs from evening to evening. After sunset, the date above has already turned to the next.
Shabbat and the festivals begin the evening before the day they are named for.
Karaite Jews reckon by the sighted moon.
Masorti and Reform keep the fixed calendar shown here. The Karaite month begins with the new crescent seen from the Land of Israel, so its date can stand a day apart.
