We are a small team of Jewish educators who came together to create the Hebrew Birthday Calculator as a free resource for anyone looking to understand their Hebrew birthday.
Our goal is to make it simple for people to discover the spiritual meaning behind their Hebrew birthday and embrace the beautiful traditions associated with this personal Rosh Hashanah.
Our Story
The idea for the Hebrew Birthday Calculator tool came when our team was preparing an educational presentation on the Hebrew calendar for our community. We realized that while many people knew their secular birthday details, most did not know the Hebrew correlate - or even that it carried profound significance.
We decided to create an easy way for anyone to convert their birth date details into the Hebrew date, along with explanations on its importance. The Hebrew Birthday Calculator was born!
Since launching the calculator in 2024, we've been touched to receive so many messages from people now commemorating their Hebrew birthday and gaining deep inspiration from its meaning. It motivates us tremendously to keep enhancing this offering as a free public resource.
Why We Care So Much About Hebrew Birthdays
As Jewish educators, we believe embracing the wisdom and meaning encoded in ancient traditions leads to greater fulfillment, purpose, and peace for all people. Discovering your Hebrew birthday opens the door to so much personal and spiritual growth.
On a basic level, it connects you more deeply with core parts of Jewish identity and heritage. From participating in sacred community gatherings to performing uplifting mitzvot charity acts, commemorating your Hebrew birthday strengthens belonging.
Even more transformational are the opportunities for awakening to your divine soul purpose, which your Hebrew birthday signifies. As more people discover their sacred assignments in this world, we come closer to Tikkun Olam - healing all of existence.
What's Next for Our Hebrew Birthday Calculator
While our current tool provides the essential date conversion and background details on Hebrew birthday meaning, we have even bigger plans!
Ideas in development include:
- Educational materials like email courses on embracing Hebrew birthday traditions
- Personalized Hebrew birthday video messages
- Digital Hebrew birthday cards and certificate templates
- Resources for gift ideas & event planning
- Mobile app version of our calculator
We greatly welcome user feedback to inform improvements and future offerings! Please reach out if you have comments.
On behalf of our whole team, thank you for using the Hebrew Birthday Calculator. We find so much meaning in being part of your journey to uncover the gifts embedded in your special personal Rosh Hashanah. Please keep us posted on your discoveries!
