Havdalah times missing when holiday is on Motzei Shabbat
Hi!
I'm having a bug, since my application is using your rest API for getting shabbat times, and its looking for two categories: "candles", "havdala".
But this week, since 1st candle of Hanuka is occuring in Motzei Shabat, there category "havdala" is missing, causing an exception in my application.
Hi, thanks for the feedback.
We've made changes to how our API works and Chanukah candle-lighting times will no longer suppress regular Shabbat/Havdalah times. Here's an example to illustrate how the API now behaves (with 2 events on Friday night and 2 events on Saturday night).

Amazon Echo date converter
Hi guys - I want to convert Hebrew dates into English dates. But whenever I say "Alexa, ask Hebcal to convert 26 Tishrei 5684" or similar, I get "which city or zip code do you want for Shabbos times?" which doesn't help me at all.
Also - could be awesome if you had the tool act as a Hebrew/English (language) translator, not just a date converter.
"Alexa, ask Hebcal - what's the English transaltion for tov?"
"Alexa, ask Hebcal - what's the Hebrew word for good?"
Just a thought... I realize that's gonna be massive htough.
Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion!
Our voice integration with Alexa only offers converting from Gregorian dates to Hebrew. It does not yet offer the inverse conversion. We will need to investigate how well Alexa understands non-English words like Tishrei and Chesvhan.
Regarding language translation, there already appears to be at least one Alexa skill that can do multi-lingual translations:
I change the settings without success
I am using Lumia 640 Windows 10 phone.
I made a shortcut to your Hebrew calendar. I changed the settings to have the Hebrew dates
I did save the settings but those settings are forgotten as soon I close the website.
Do you intend to adapt your beautiful programs for Windows Phone?

Hi!
I was looking for details on parashat miketz and there was a line I didn't understand:
On Shabbat Rosh Chodesh Chanukah
>>>>>8: Numbers 28:9-15 <<<<<<<
maf: Numbers 7:42-47
Aliyot for special Shabbatot that include three Sifrei Torah have been improved. We read from three Sifrei Torah when Rosh Chodesh coincides with Shabbat HaCodesh, Shabbat Shekalim or Shabbat Chanukah. Although some minyanim have the custom of reading 8 aliyot, we now take the more common approach of including the typical 7 aliyot for Shabbat. The 1st Sefer Torah is for regular Torah reading (aliyot 1-6), the 2nd Sefer Torah is read for the 7th aliyah for Rosh Chodesh (Numbers 28:9-15) and the 3rd Sefer Torah is read for the maftir aliyah (the special Shabbat).
are there app for windows mobile?

Thanks,
