Jewish Hebrew Calendar ====================== Modern Jewish Hebrew Calendar of Israel as originally set down by the Sanhedrin president Hillel II nearly 1700 years ago.

Although this is the official calendar used today in modern Israel and used by Jews throughout the World, please bear in mind that it is NOT God's calendar as described in the Torah. The original Biblical Hebrew Calendar was based on observations of the new crescent moon. After the Temple was destroyed approximately 40 years after Christ's death and resuration the Hebrew Calendar in use at the time was lost due to the destruction of the Temple. Today's Hebrew Calendar is calculated using mathematical formulas developed nearly 1700 years ago.
