How can I save the calendar to make personal dates for distribution to congregants?
We used to be able to save the calendar with the appropriate dates, make some edits, and add some independent events. Then save this in a different format. We cannot do this now.
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).

Great addition to my calendar. Would be even better if you noted dates foe Yizkor. Thank you.
We have added an optional Yizkor checkbox to the custom calendar page at https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal
We have also added a dedicated Yizkor calendar to this page https://www.hebcal.com/ical/
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.
