Notes

• "The Jewish calendar, which was instituted by Hillel II in the 4th century C.E., counts the years beginning with the supposed creation of the world, calculated to be 3761 B.C.E., as opposed to the Gregorian calendar, which begins counting with the birth of Christ. For example,  the 29th of Nisan 5760 C.E. on the Jewish calendar corresponds to A.D. May 2, 2000, on the Gregorian calendar.

  The Jewish year begins on the 1st of Tishrei (August or September). The remaining months are Heshvan, Kislev, Tevet, Shevat, Adar, Nisan, Iyar, Sivan, Tammuz, Av, and Elul. Instead of adding a leap day in February, the Jewish calendar adds a leap month, Adar II, 7 times in every 19 years. The Jewish day runs from sunset to sunset, rather than from midnight to midnight, and holidays begin just before sundown, not the following morning. The Jewish calendar is the daily calendar of observant Jews in Israel; American Jews use it in addition to the Gregorian calendar to mark their religious holidays throughout the year." (JPS)
