Hebrew Calendar Date Regex for Go

What this pattern does

This page provides a well-structured, multi-part regular expression for matching hebrew calendar date, ported and verified for Go. A rigorously tested regex reduces debugging time and protects your application from edge-case failures. The snippet below is ready to drop into your Go project — whether you're validating in a Gin handler, a gRPC service, or a command-line tool.

Go Implementation

// Hebrew Calendar Date
// ReDoS-safe | RegexVault — Localization > Date Formats

package validation

import "regexp"

var hebrewCalendarDateRe = regexp.MustCompile(`^(0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])/(0?[1-9]|1[0-3])/(5[0-9]{3}|6[0-9]{3})$`)

func ValidateHebrewCalendarDate(s string) bool {
    return hebrewCalendarDateRe.MatchString(s)
}

// Example
// fmt.Println(ValidateHebrewCalendarDate("15/7/5784")) // true

Test Cases

When to use this pattern

This pattern is drawn from the Localization > Date Formats category and carries a ReDoS-safe certification. That matters for Go developers because Go's RE2 engine is inherently safe from catastrophic backtracking, but this pattern has been additionally verified for correctness. RegexVault audits patterns against known backtracking attack vectors, ensuring you have the necessary context before using this regex in a high-stakes production environment.

Common Pitfalls

Technical Notes

Hebrew calendar has 12 or 13 months (leap years add Adar II, hence month 13). Current year range 5700s-6000s (2024 CE = 5784-5785 AM). Month 13 is only valid in leap years — validate with a Hebrew calendar library.
