How the Rosh Hashanah date is worked out

The Hebrew calendar follows the Moon for its months and adds a leap month 7 times every 19 years to stay in step with the seasons, so the date moves on the everyday calendar but stays within the same few weeks. Jewish days begin at sundown, so we show the evening it starts. From 2026 to 2055 it falls between September 5 and October 4. How we calculate every date.
