Old search method preferred

Deanne 9 years ago • updated by Michael J. Radwin 9 years ago • 2
I was using hebcal as part of a study into calendar chronology.
I prefer the old search method of keying in a go-to year
instead of the new click on previous or next year.

Hebcal widget for OS X is broken.

Mark Saper 9 years ago • updated by anonymous 5 years ago • 20
Michael -- did you change the format for the shabbat page?  I think this is the reason why people are complaining that the widget stopped working.  It may take a while for me to figure out what my widget was actually doing and fix it.  Also, I see you added a geo lookup.  I wanted to do that years ago but couldn't figure it out.

Hi all, we made a small change to our server configuration to permit API requests like this work without requiring HTTPS.


This should fix older versions of the widget.


Happy Chanukah!

how to get a list with my changes ?

carol 9 years ago • 0
In prior years I have been able to formulate a list with all the relevant dates, events, times, etc. This year, every time I click on the List button, not only do my changes disappear, but nothing shows up for me to copy and paste into my file. I wrote to the author, but haven't heard back yet ... and the New Year is upon us ... I didn't even see most of my changes on the calendar format -- I would be delighted to type in the dates and times myself, were they listed in the calendar ...

Help ... ??

Thank you.

Can Hebcal create a link to tefillin times based on USA zip codes?

Thanks for your question. The Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah, occurs in the autumn. The year changes from 5784 to 5785 on Wednesday 2 October 2024.


For more information read the Wikipedia article describing the 4 new years in the Hebrew calendar

How to get zmanim from lat and long only

davidamiga14 3 weeks ago • updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 weeks ago • 3

Hi

I want to get zmanim infromation for a location but I only have the lat and long of the user

How can I use the API to get all information just with that?

In the documentation I found that to get zmanim I need the geolocation, but to get that I need the name and timeZoneId, but I don't have those

Ical available for Shabbos licht times?

IsaacJoel 4 weeks ago • updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 weeks ago • 1

I would love to put Shabbos licht times in my Thunderbird calendar, but I cannot find that on the Shabbos times page or the iCal page. I currently make use of several resources from the iCal page, but wish there was an option to import licht times.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

It would be convenient if it were something like:

webcal://download.hebcal.com/ical/shabbat-times-zip11111.ics

Thanks for using Hebcal!


Shabbat times can indeed be downloaded to iCalendar but we could improve our user experience to make this easier to find.

From a Shabbat times page like this one:

https://www.hebcal.com/shabbat?zip=02906&ue=on&M=on&lg=s

If you click the "2024 calendar" button like below:

Which will take you to a page that lets you download/subscribe as follows:

Wrong date after sunset

Mark Y 1 month ago • updated by Michael J. Radwin 1 month ago • 1

Hebcal is my favourite watch complication!


The watch complication correctly shows the Hebrew date after sunset. So on Motsae Shabbat it shows Yom Rishon. 
However clicking on the date shows the previous day. So on Motsae Shabbat it shows Shabbat.

It would be great if this little bug could be fixed.

Cannot edit existing Yahrtzeit Calendar

Schwann240 1 month ago • updated 1 month ago • 5

I've been trying to edit an existing Yahrtzeit calendar that I subscribe to in iCal. On the Hebcal help page it says:

1. First, navigate to https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit

2. Next, click the existing calendar link under the “View or edit an existing personal calendar” section of the page

But I've scoured the page over and over and cannot find a “View or edit an existing personal calendar”section on that page. Am I missing something?
