I've celebrated both my whole life. Different sides of the family had an easier time remembering different birth dates. It's great, and like someone else said, you can even celebrate a "chol hamoed birthday" between the Hebrew and secular dates. It's a birthday season!


Those are exactly the terms we use -- birthday chol hamoed and birthday season! By the end, we ask if the birthday person feels duly feted. Very Happy

Everyone in Israel celebrates the Hebrew birthday but of course we were used to celebrating the English, so when we made aliyah we started celebrating both with equal enthusiasm -- the kids love having double special days (though this month, after celebrating DD1's Hebrew birthday at home, in school, in chug, on shabbat, English birthday, AND English birthday shabbat, I definitely felt like the Berenstain Bears' "Too Much Birthday"!!)
