Reading your device’s clock…
The Hebrew (Jewish) date is not one fixed number for a calendar day the way the Gregorian date is. It changes at sunset rather than at midnight, so the same civil evening can belong to two different Hebrew dates depending on whether the sun has set yet. That is why this page reads the visitor's own clock rather than a server's, and offers a toggle for the case a device's clock cannot resolve on its own: whether sunset has already happened where the visitor is.
Once the calendar knows which Hebrew day it is, everything else follows: which portion of the Torah is read this coming Shabbat, whether a holiday falls today or is still ahead, and how to convert that date to and from the Gregorian calendar most of the world uses day to day.
The Hebrew calendar counts a day from evening to evening, following the pattern in Genesis 1, "and there was evening and there was morning, one day." A Hebrew day begins at sunset (many communities use nightfall instead), so a date that is correct at 5pm can be one day behind by 9pm.
The Hebrew calendar counts years from the traditional date of creation, 3761 BCE. The current year, 5787, began at Rosh Hashanah in September 2026 and runs until Rosh Hashanah 5788 in autumn 2027.
The Hebrew calendar is lunar, so a normal year of 12 months would drift away from the seasons. To keep Passover in spring and Sukkot in autumn, a 13th month, a second Adar (Adar II), is added seven times in every 19-year cycle.
