Sign in to saveAlso known as Jewish calendar
lunisolar calendar used for Jewish religious observances
The Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar—meaning it's based on the cycles of both the moon and the sun—that Jewish communities use to determine when to observe religious holidays and festivals. It matters because it ensures that important Jewish celebrations like Passover and Yom Kippur fall on their traditionally designated times each year.
