The Jewish calendar is a lunar calendar. The months are 29 or 30
days, and there are normally 12 months in a year. However, in seven
out of every nineteen years, there is a 13th month, adding another
29 or 30 to the normal 354. Every 19 years it comes back in sync with
the solar calendar. (The Jewish holidays come out this year on the
same days they did in 1964 and 1945, give or take one day.)
