The Gregorian calendar is a purely solar calendar, while the Jewish calendar is a solar-lunar calendar.

In the Jewish calendar, every month starts with the new moon and a leap month is inserted (by doubling the spring month of Adar) when needed to keep the months in their right season.

How is the jewish calendar decided?
In ancient times, the beginning of each new month was proclaimed after witnesses had testified to having seen the new moon. Around 1650 years ago, the permanent Hebrew calendar was instituted, since the exigencies of the diaspora made it impossible to continue with the earlier procedure. 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.
