the jewish calendar began many centuries before before the Gregorian Calendar.
Jewish answer
The Jewish calendar consists of twelve lunar months. It also keeps in step with the solar year, by adding a thirteenth lunar leap-month seven times every nineteen years. The Gregorian calendar, which sticks to the solar year, ignores the lunar months and does not attempt to keep in step with them.

∙ 9y agoThe Gregorian Calendar currently uses a Solar correction -- 365.25 days per year, so every fourth year, you add a day -- leap year. The Jewish calendar, more concerned with agriculture, lets the time shift until its about a month off -- then a second month (of Adar) is added. Then there is the Muslim calendar, which ignores all those details -- no correction.
