According to tradition, the Hebrew calendar started at the time of creation, placed at 3761 BCE.^[5] The current (2023/2024) Hebrew year is 5784. By this calculation, the start of the 6000th year would occur at nightfall of 29 September 2239^[6] and the end would occur at nightfall of 16 September 2240^[7] on the Gregorian calendar.
