Writing the Hebrew date on your invitation without mistakes
Sunset, diaspora weeks and the two months of Adar: the calendar traps to avoid on an invitation.
A wrong Hebrew date on an invitation always gets noticed. Three points deserve attention.
The day starts at sunset
An evening event already belongs to the next Hebrew day. For a birth after sunset, the Hebrew birthday changes too, which matters for the bar mitzvah date.
Israel and the diaspora
Some weeks, the parasha read in Israel differs from the one read abroad. It is calculated for the country of your event.
Adar I and Adar II
Leap years have two months of Adar. Always have the date confirmed by your rabbi.
