The simple rule

The Jewish overlay follows a sunset-based halachic day, not just the midnight civil boundary. It joins Hebrew date, holiday and reading-cycle context, and zmanim in one place while keeping Israel and diaspora differences explicit.

Daily basis
Hebrew date and observance
The overlay shows the Hebrew date, holidays, Omer, Torah-cycle context, and daily-study structure as one daily Jewish reference surface.
Boundary rule
Shkia shift
The observance day can change at sunset even when the local Gregorian civil date has not yet changed.
