Abstract
The Jewish calendar is based on a 19-year lunar cycle rather than the solar cycle used by western calendars. This means that the Jewish year is 11 days shorter and as a result of this every two to three years an extra month has to be added to bring the year into line with the solar calendar and to make sure that the festivals take place at the same time each year.
