Jewish Friends: Is there a link that lists the Jewish months (when they start and stop) and links them with?

the western calendar?

For example, whatever the name of the first month is in Hebrew, and when on the western calendar it begins and ends, and so on through the entire Jewish calendar?

I just read an article that says this year is a Jubilee year, and I thought it might be interesting to see when (on the western calendar) the 7th day of the 7th month of this Jubilee year is.

    both of these have everything you're asking

    This is currently the Hebrew year 5769. This is NOT a Shemita year...the last one of those was in 5768, LAST YEAR in the Land of Israel

    "The Torah commands us to allow the land of Israel to lie fallow every seventh year. This is known as the shemita year. After seven shemita years is the fiftieth "jubilee" year, in Hebrew called yovel. The Torah commands that the land lie fallow during yovel as well.

    Today, we are not required by the Torah to observe yovel. The Torah says that yovel only applies when the Jewish people dwell in the Land of Israel according to their tribes.

    I don't know about the year really, but the months are based on the lunar calendar.
