The Hebrew calendar marks day one as the seventh day of the creation story from the book of Genesis. Hebrew scholars determined year one by adding the ages of all those mentioned in the Torah and going backward.
The Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar consisting of 12 months, with a leap year adding a 13th month. Each month has its unique significance and religious observances.
Here's a month-by-month summary, typically beginning in September and ending in September or October each year.

Shemini Atzeret—Eighth day of Sukkot, a separate festival day.
Simchat Torah—Celebration of the completion and restarting of the Torah reading cycle.
