Jewish calendar n. a complex ancient calendar used in Judaism, typically to determine the date of religious festivals, holidays, etc., throughout the year.The Jewish calendar is a lunar calendar adapted to the solar year, normally consisting of twelve months but having thirteen months in leap years, which occur seven times in every cycle of nineteen years. The years are reckoned from the Creation (which is placed at 3761 BCE); the months are Nisan, Iyyar, Sivan, Thammuz, Av, Elul, Tishri, Hesvan, Kislev, Tebeth, Sebat, and Adar, with an intercalary month (First Adar) being added in leap years. The religious year begins with Nisan and ends with Adar, while the civil year begins with Tishri and ends with Elul.
