What is the difference between an Israeli calendar and a US one?

* New Year: The Israeli calendar follows the Hebrew calendar, which begins with the month of Tishrei in late September or early October. The US calendar follows the Gregorian calendar, which begins with January 1st.

* Months: The Israeli calendar has 12 months, each of which is 29 or 30 days long. The months are: Tishrei, Heshvan, Kislev, Tevet, Shevat, Adar, Nissan, Iyar, Sivan, Tammuz, Av, and Elul. The US calendar also has 12 months, but the length of each month varies from 28 to 31 days.

* Weeks: The Israeli calendar follows a seven-day week, starting with Sunday and ending with Saturday. The US calendar also follows a seven-day week, but the week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday.

* Holidays: The Israeli calendar includes several religious holidays that are unique to Judaism, such as Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Passover, and Purim. The US calendar includes several religious holidays that are unique to Christianity, such as Christmas and Easter, as well as several national holidays that are not religious.
