The Jewish calendar is a lunisolar calendar. Therefore the Jewish day begins at sundown, and the months keep in step with the phases of the moon.
The problem with strictly lunar calendars is that there are approximately 12.4 lunar months in every solar year, so a 12-month lunar calendar is about 11 days shorter than a solar year and a 13-month lunar is about 19 days longer than a solar year. To compensate for this drift, the Jewish calendar uses a 12-month lunar calendar with an extra month occasionally added. The months are: Nissan, Iyar, Sivan, Tamuz, Av, Elul, Tishrei, Cheshvan, Kislev, Tevet, Shevat, Adar I (leap years only), Adar. The Jewish new year is celebrated in Tishrei, which occures in early Autmn. The current year is 5774, which counts up from the time of the creation of the world, 5,774 years ago.
