How is the Jewish calendar different from the christian calendar?

∙ 10y ago
The Jewish calendar works very differently from the Christian one. Days begin at sunset; months begin with the new moon. And the year begins on the anniversary of the biblical creation of man - the first day of the month of Tishri. (This is 6 days after the biblical creation of the world, since man was created on the sixth day.)
In 2008, the Jewish new year begins on Tuesday, September 30 (actually, at sunset of the day before).

∙ 13y agoAll Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - have a special day of the week.
Jews celebrate the Sabbath day (Friday sundown to Saturday night) - count from the 1st day of creation, to the 6th. When the sun went down on the sixth day, it started the 7th day - the day of rest.
Christians celebrate the Resurrection, which happened one day after the Sabbath (Sunday).
Muslims celebrate the birth of Adam, which was on the last day of creation (Friday).
Jewish AnswerIt's a common misconception that Judaism has a single specific day of prayer during the week. In truth, religiously observant Jews pray 3 times a day, every day and 4 times on Saturday.
Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath, is not a day of prayer, it is a day of rest where Jews refrain from participating in any of the 39 forbidden forms of work as specified in the Torah. Shabbat starts Friday at sundown and ends Saturday when two stars are visible in the sky.

It is different every year. It is always on the 14th (or 15th in a few cities) of Adar, a Jewish month.

Because of this, the dates are different every year.
