Why Use This Tool?
Hebrew birthdays, yahrzeit anniversaries, Jewish holiday planning — all run on the Hebrew calendar, where the year count is near 5800 and months follow the moon. This converter reads any Gregorian date and renders its Hebrew equivalent, then goes the other direction just as easily.
Month numbering runs from Tishrei, and leap years carry a thirteenth month (Adar II) seven times in every nineteen-year cycle — the tool handles both automatically, so months never come out shifted by one.
How It Works
- Pick a Gregorian date to see its Hebrew year, month, and day.
- Or enter a Hebrew year, month (1–13), and day to land on the Gregorian date.
- Read the properly named Hebrew month in every result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a Gregorian date to a Hebrew date?
Pick the date above and convert — you get the Hebrew year, the month with its traditional name, and the day of month.
Why does the Hebrew day start at sunset?
The Hebrew calendar counts days from evening to evening, so an event after sundown belongs to the next Hebrew date. Keep that in mind for anniversaries.
How many months does a Hebrew year have?
Twelve in common years and thirteen in leap years — the extra Adar II month appears seven times in every nineteen-year cycle.
Tips & Things to Watch
- Hebrew years run about 3761 ahead — 2026 CE is mostly 5786.
- Month 1 is Tishrei, not Nissan — numbering follows the year's start.
- For yahrzeit accuracy, convert from the original Hebrew date, not the Gregorian one.
