Torah Readings on Mondays and Thursdays
This is such a helpful webisite! I visit it often to get information on Torah Readings. I am also grateful for the calendar information and the date converter.
In addition to the weekly Shabbat aliyot breakdown, could you please also list the aliyot read on Mondays and Thursdays? I lost my luach recently, and had trouble figuring out the aliyot read on a recent Monday. With this information you will make the Torah reading information more comprehensive than it already is.
Hi, we have added weekday Torah readings to our parsha pages:
Mo'adim L'Simcha!
Hanukkah Saturday night doesn't show Havdalah.
Yes, I saw the post (linked below) as "not a bug", but this is an issue, because APIs can look for "Candle lighting" and "Havdalah" (for Shabbat) to do things such as enable and disable devices, and because it isn't listed, those actions will not occur.
Please fix this and display a duplicate time for Havdalah and Candles for that one night a year.
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).

Hebrew birthdays on Apple Calendar
When I select add Hebrew birthday calendar in Contacts on my iPhone the same Hebrew date (16 Elul) is displayed for different Gregorian calendar dates. Example: 16 Nov and 16 May.
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.
We don't celebrate Rosh Chodesh Tishrei on the first day of. Instead, we celebrate Rosh Hashana.
how to change cities for candle lighting times
I've moved and want to change the location on the calendar for Shabbat times.
Torah Reading Aliyot Link to a Tikkun
There's a new online Tikkun at http://www.tikkun.io/. As a ba'al koreh it would be extremely helpful if your links for the individual aliyot could link to the aliyot at tikkun.io
Thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for the feedback! We recently added some links to tikkun.io from our parsha pages.
Yom HaAliyah, Israel's newest holiday. The 10th of Nisan
Shalom Michael,
I would like to call your attention to a missing Israeli national holiday in your Hebcal holiday list. Specifically I am referring to Yom HaAliyah. It is Israel's newest national holiday.
Yom HaAliyah should be listed in HebCal on the10th of the Hebrew month of Nisan. The 10th of Nisan is when the Torah says Joshua crossed the Jordan with all of Am Yisrael at Gilgal, and that is the official date of the new Israeli national holiday according to the bill passed by the Knesset on June 21st, 2016.
I don't know if you want to add it also, but the Yom HaAliyah bill mandates that schools in Israel also teach about Aliyah on the 7th of Cheshvan near Lech Lecha because on the official Yom HaAliyah date of the 10th of Nisan, the schools are not in session.

Thank you for adding this. It is crucial as many public calendars use and trust your website when setting their dates.
