Why does the Hebrew date change at sundown?
A Hebrew day runs from one nightfall to the next, so each date begins in the evening before the civil day it is shown on. The calendar marks today by Israel's clock and moves the Hebrew date on at sundown in Jerusalem.
How does the calendar differ in Israel and outside it?
Israel keeps one day of yom tov where communities outside Israel keep two, on the first and last days of Passover, on Shavuot, on the first day of Sukkot and on Shemini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah falls on Shemini Atzeret in Israel. For some weeks the weekly portion differs too. The switch above the grid shows either.
