Old search method preferred

Deanne 11 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 11 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 11 years ago updated by anonymous 7 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 11 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.

Ahistorical reference to "five million others"

David1598745633 4 days ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 days ago 1

The Yom Hashoah article says that it is "observed as Israel’s day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews and five million others who perished in the Holocaust." Unfortunately this five million number is ahistorical yet still very much ubiquitous. Please see this article: ‘Remember the 11 million’? Why an inflated victims tally irks Holocaust historians.


Correcting this would a small but meaningful action.

Thanks for the feedback; this short description comes directly from Wikipedia and was out of sync with the current Wikipedia page. It has been updated to the latest version of Wikipedia:

Yom HaZikaron laShoah ve-laG’vurah (Hebrew: יום הזיכרון לשואה ולגבורה, lit. ’Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day’), known colloquially in Israel and abroad as Yom HaShoah (Hebrew: יום השואה, Yiddish: יום השואה) and in English as Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Holocaust Day, is Israel’s day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust by Nazi Germany and its allies, and for the Jewish resistance in that period. In Israel, it is a national Memorial day, but several Jewish communities around the world observe the day as well. The first official commemorations took place in 1951, and the observance of the day was anchored in a law passed by the Knesset in 1959. It is held on the 27th of Nisan (which falls in April or May), unless the 27th would be adjacent to the Jewish Sabbath, in which case the date is shifted by a day.

parsha widget

Lisa 5 days ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 days ago 1

Is there a widget for displaying only the weekly parsha on my website? I have used the Shabbat times widget which includes the parsha, but we really only need the parsha itself.

Answer

Thanks for your question. We don't offer a dedicated parsha widget, but you can do something like this using our API

Inquiry regarding Shabbat times update frequency and Timezone alignment

Tamir 5 days ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 days ago 3

Hi, I fetch Shabbat times from your site every 90 seconds for a system in Israel.

  1. When exactly are the start/end times updated in your database?
  2. Is the update synced to Israel time? I need to ensure the data doesn't refresh according to US time, which would be half a day too late for us.

Thanks!

Nach Yomi and Kitzur Yomi

Moish Perl 5 days ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 5 days ago 1

Hi

Does anyone know if there is a way to customize daily limudim calendars.

I'd like Kitzur to read kitzur not kust the siman/sk.

Also, My nach yomi schedule is one day different than the schedule showing here, can I customize?
