What is the difference between the “Jewish” and the “Georgian” calendar?

Jewish Calendar

The main difference is that the Jewish calendar is based on 12 lunar months (354 days), but with an additional month added every few years (7 times every 19 years). In order to synchronize with the solar calendar a 13th month is added every 3 years (Adar II).

Those using the lunar calendar usually begin their day at sundown. A moon-year has 354 days, and a sun-year 365 days.

The Jewish calendar is based on a combination off the two, and is reckoned according to both the sun and the moon. According to the Jewish calendar now is the 5776 year.

The Georgian Is a solar calendar based on a 365 days and it’s divided for 12 months of irregular lengths. 11 of the months have either 30 or 31 days while the second month, February, has only 28 days during the common year.

Every four years is a leap year, when one extra – or intercalary – day, is added on 29 February, making the leap year in the Gregorian calendar 366 days long. The Georgian calendar based on a sun cycle.
