One date.
Three ways to know it.
hebrewbirth.day converts your Gregorian birthday into Hebrew calendar coordinates, then tells you three things: which Jewish holidays fall on it across your life, which notable Jewish public figures share it, and which moments in Jewish history happened on it.
We want to help you explore the rich tapestry of Jewish history and culture that intersects with your personal journey, until you reach the ripe age of 120!
Methodology
שִׁיטָהAll Gregorian ↔ Hebrew conversions use @hebcal/core, implementing the classical Rambam calculations used by Hebcal. Holiday occurrences are generated from the canonical Jewish year and filtered against your Gregorian birthday across ages 0–120.
Diaspora vs. Israel observance is a toggle — both are shown. Holidays begin at nightfall on the evening before the first full calendar day, per Jewish convention.
People are included when they have a verified Gregorian birthday and any documented connection to Judaism — religion, ancestry, or meaningful contribution to Jewish welfare. Every entry ships with citation links and a labeled connection tier. No speculation: if a connection can't be sourced, the entry isn't included.
Curation
עֲרִיכָהThis site is not intended to be a comprehensive historical record or an exhaustive list of Jewish figures and events in totality. We recognize that the history and ongoing reality of antisemitism across the world is a critical aspect of the Jewish experience and must not be minimized, forgotten, or ignored.
However, our goals with this site are to provide a fun and engaging way for users to connect with Jewish history and culture through the lens of their birthday, rather than to serve solely as a memorial or record of tragedies.
We encourage users to explore the rich tapestry of Jewish history and culture that intersects with their personal journey, while also acknowledging the importance of remembering and learning from the difficult events in our history.
For these reasons, many tragedies, persecutions, and catastrophes are not listed here. For deep historical coverage of difficult events, we encourage you to visit Yad Vashem and the USHMM Encyclopedia.
