  • The years are numbered starting by the start of creation. This is calculated by adding up the ages of people in The Bible back to the time of creation.
  • The "first month" of the Jewish calendar is the month of Nissan, in the spring, when Passover occurs.

Answer:

There are a number of possible answers to this question.

1) What is the year 1 in the Jewish calendar dated from? The answer above (Creation) is correct. But it's based on tradition as well as mathematics, because some of the kings had overlapping half-years.

2) When did Judaism begin? It began with Abraham, 3800 years ago.

3) In the past, new moons were announced by the Sanhedrin (court) after witnesses had testified as having seen the new moon. When did our fixed calendar begin? It began around the year 361 CE, when Hillel 2 (a later sage with the same name as the famous Hillel) instituted our fixed calendar, because the persecutions were making it untenable for the Sanhedrin to function.
