Lunisolar dating system
The Jewish calendar is the lunisolar calendar used in Judaism to determine religious holidays and observances.
It combines lunar months with solar-year adjustments, adding a leap month seven times in every nineteen-year cycle.
Years are counted from a traditional date of creation, placing the current era in the late 5700s.
Rosh Hashanah marks the start of the Jewish calendar year.
