The moon on the night they were born, with their Hebrew birth date.
Not a generic crescent: the moon as it was on that night, worked out for the date. The Hebrew calendar follows the moon, so on every Hebrew birthday it comes back to nearly the same shape, and the print shows each one up to the bat or bar mitzvah.
Framed from $79. Print only, $36.

Why the moon keeps their Hebrew birthday.
A Hebrew month is one cycle of the moon. A birthday on the everyday calendar can fall on any phase at all, but a Hebrew birthday falls on the same day of the moon's month every year, so its moon nearly repeats.
Here is one child born on the night of 18 June 2026, at every birthday to twelve. The top row is the everyday birthday. The bottom row is the Hebrew one.
What you get.
The real moon of that night
Each moon is calculated for its own evening from an astronomical formula, the large one and the small ones alike.
Both birth dates
The Hebrew date in Hebrew letters beside the everyday one. Born after dark? One tick moves it to the next Hebrew date, as the day begins at sundown.
Museum-quality matte paper
Thick 189 g/m² paper with a matte finish that does not glare under a lamp, so the small type stays readable.
Framed and ready to hang
A wood frame in black, white or oak, three quarters of an inch deep, with a clear acrylic front and the hanging hardware included.
Who it is for.
A new baby
The night they arrived, with the moons of the birthdays still to come.
A bat or bar mitzvah
Twelve or thirteen moons that look almost alike, ending on the big one.
Grandparents
One for each grandchild, side by side on the wall.
In memory
The moon of the night a parent or grandparent was born.
Why we made it.
We built a Hebrew birthday calculator and kept noticing the same thing: the moon on a Hebrew birthday barely changes from year to year. We had never seen that on a wall.

Questions before you order
Is it a photograph?+
No. Each moon is drawn from a calculation of how much of it was lit on that evening and on which side, so it shows that night's moon rather than a photograph of another one.
Why do the small moons look almost the same?+
Because the Hebrew calendar keeps its months in step with the moon. That is the point of the print: on the everyday calendar the same birthdays would show twelve different moons.
What if they were born in the evening?+
Tick born after sundown. The Hebrew day begins at sundown, so an evening birth belongs to the next Hebrew date, and the print follows.
How far back can the date of birth go?+
To 1930. The moon for any night since then is worked out the same way.
Can I see it before I pay?+
Yes. The picture on this page redraws with every answer, and it is drawn by the same code as the file we print. Nothing goes in the basket until your own picture has drawn.
How long does delivery take?+
Each piece is made to order, which takes two to five working days, and then it is posted. Most orders reach US addresses in two to three weeks and Israeli addresses in three to four. We email the tracking link the day it ships.
Can I send it straight to someone as a gift?+
Yes. Put their address in at checkout and it goes straight to them.
What if it arrives damaged or misprinted?+
Reply to your order email with a photo and we send a new one, free.
