Anno Mundi (Hebrew)
About the Anno Mundi (Hebrew)
The Hebrew calendar counts years from a traditional date of creation corresponding to 3761 BCE in the proleptic Julian calendar, so the year 5787 began in autumn 2026. The count was derived from biblical chronology and came into general use in the early medieval period. Years are written AM, for anno mundi, in the year of the world.
