Every month is either 29 or 30 days long, beginning (and ending) on a special day known as Rosh Chodesh (“The Head of the Month”). The months were once declared by a beit din (rabbinical court) after the new moon had been sighted, but now follow a predetermined calendar.

The Hebrew calendar (Hebrew: הַלּוּחַ הָעִבְרִי, romanized: halLūaḥ hāʿĪḇrī), also called the Jewish calendar, is a lunisolar calendar used today for Jewish religious observance and as an official calendar of Israel.
Information about the months in the Hebrew calendar. The rabbis who first began working out the Jewish calendar in the fourth century CE recognized that limiting all months to either 29 or 30 days wasn't going to work. Two months were then given a bit more flexibility, Cheshvan and Kislev.
Months are either 29 or 30 days, corresponding to the 29½-day lunar cycle. Years are either 12 or 13 months, corresponding to the 12.4 month solar cycle. The lunar month on the Jewish calendar begins when the first sliver of moon becomes visible after the dark of the moon.
