The Hebrew calendar (Hebrew: הלוח העברי‎ ha’luach ha’ivri) or Jewish calendar is a lunisolar calendar used by the Jewish people, the followers of Judaism. Today, the calendar is predominantly used for religious observances, but is also employed by Jewish farmers in Israel as an agricultural framework.

The calendar is used to reckon the Jewish New Year and dates for Jewish holidays, and also to determine appropriate public reading of Torah portions, Yahrzeits (dates to commemorate the death of a relative), and daily Psalm reading, among many ceremonial uses. Originally the Hebrew calendar was used by Jews for all daily purposes. Following the conquest of Jerusalem by Pompey in 63 BCE (see also Iudaea province), Jews began additionally following the imperial civil calendar (which was decreed in 45 BCE) for civic matters such as the payment of taxes and dealings with government officials.

When is Passover this year? Is Hanukkah in November or December? This is a great way to keep up with the holidays that Maran Yeshua Melech HaMashiach celebrated.
