Jewish Birthday Calculator
Find your Jewish birthday fast. Enter your Gregorian date, get your Hebrew date instantly. Simple and accurate.
About This Tool
So, you want to figure out when your Jewish birthday is? Yeah, it’s not as straightforward as it sounds. The Jewish calendar is lunar-solar, which means it doesn’t line up neatly with the Gregorian calendar we use every day. One year your birthday might fall in March, the next in February—or even January. Confusing? Absolutely. That’s where this Jewish Birthday Calculator comes in.
I built this because I kept forgetting when my own Hebrew birthday was. My mom would remind me, “It’s next week!” and I’d be like, “Wait, what? How?” Turns out, converting dates between calendars isn’t something most people have memorized. This tool does the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
Just plug in your birth date (Gregorian), and it spits out the corresponding Hebrew date. Simple. No apps to download, no sign-ups, no nonsense. It’s just a quick, honest answer to a question that trips up way more people than you’d think.

FAQ
Q: Why does my Jewish birthday change every year on the regular calendar?
A: Because the Jewish calendar is based on lunar months and adds an extra month every few years to stay in sync with the seasons. That means Hebrew dates shift relative to the Gregorian calendar. Your Hebrew birthday stays the same—it’s just the Gregorian date that moves around.
Q: Can I use this for someone born before 1900?
A: Technically yes, but with a caveat. The calculator uses standard conversion algorithms, which are reliable from around 1900 onward. For earlier dates, historical calendar variations and regional differences can make things fuzzy. If you’re researching family history, double-check with a historian or rabbi.
