In Jewish law, each new day begins at nightfall (tzeis hakochavim — when the stars appear), not at midnight.
If a person was born or passed away after dark, the Hebrew date is already the next calendar day.
Check this box if the event occurred after nightfall and the conversion will adjust automatically.

About the Hebrew Calendar
The Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar used to determine Jewish holidays and life cycle observances.
A Yahrzeit (Yiddish: anniversary of passing) is observed on the Hebrew calendar date of a loved one's death.
A Jewish birthday follows the Hebrew date of birth — both are commemorated according to the Hebrew calendar each year.
Note: In Hebrew leap years an extra month (Adar II) is added. Dates in Adar may fall in Adar I or Adar II depending on the year — this converter follows standard Halachic practice.
