We are embarking on the year of year 5782 on the Jewish calendar. The new year starts the evening of Monday, September 6 (1st of Tishrei).
The Jewish, or Hebrew, calendar is a lunar/solar calendar (months are based on lunar months but years are based on solar years) and is the official calendar in Israel. The years count up from the “calculation” of when the Earth was created.
