Hi, thanks for your message. We're not sure what you mean by glitch? The web page looks correct to us.

Parashat Beha’alotcha

    When you click on the parsha link, it takes you to the Torah reading for that week which is Parashat Beha’alotcha. The date listed on the Parashat Beha’alotcha page is always the Shabbat that the parsha is read... in this case, it is Saturday, 22 June 2024.

    If you see a page that incorrectly has the date June 26 on it, could you send the URL and/or a screenshot?

    Thanks for using the Hebcal date converter.

    Unfortunately, no, we do not offer a timezone parameter or another web API to determine the Hebrew date based on the current date in a timezone.

    You can do this in JavaScript using our Zmanim JavaScript API using something like the following code

    const {Location, Zmanim, HDate} = require('@hebcal/core');
    const location = Location.lookup('Boston');
    const now = new Date();
    const zmanim = new Zmanim(location, now, false);
    const sunset = zmanim.sunset();
    let hd = new HDate(now);
    if (now >= sunset) {
      hd = hd.next();
    }


    Thanks, this is very helpful! We have fixed the web pages. The corrected reading appears in both of these places:

    Hi, thanks for contacting Hebcal.

    To calculate yahrzeit dates, please use our Yahrzeit + Anniversary Calendar page. You will note that if you enter 11-March-2005 you will get the Ashkenazic practice for 30 Adar I.

    Thank you for posting a screenshot from our simple Hebcal Hebrew Date converter. The Hebrew Date Converter page does not follow the special rules for a yahrzeit.

    If you want parshiyot for current Hebrew year, use &year=now&yt=H


    Here is an excerpt from the documentation, note the meaning of the "yt" parameter


    Date

    Date range may be specified either using year or both start and end:

    • year=now – “now” for current year, or 4-digit YYYY such as 2003
      • yt=G – Interpret year as Gregorian year (common era) – default
      • yt=H – Interpret year as Hebrew year (e.g. 5782)

    For more details please read the APi documentation
