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.

Hi Alana, thanks for posting this comment many years ago.
We've changed Hebcal to match how Google's Holidays in Israel calendar displays the holiday.

How to add more lines to input dates on a Yahrzeit, Birthday List
I would like to input more than 6 dates into a personalized birthday/yahrzeit calendar. Is there a way of adding more than 6 and if so please guide me on how to.
Thanks!
Old search method preferred
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.
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 ?
Help ... ??
Thank you.

Add another site to the audio parsha page
I see on https://www.hebcal.com/home/498 two links to leining audio options.
Both are good resources, but one requires an app download, and the other is not free.
Would you consider adding https://torahsages.com/leining/ TorahSage.com has free leining audio for all the parshiyot and haftarot.
Here's the link for this week's parsha Vayeira https://torahsages.com/leining/vayeira/
Thanks and Kol Tuv
I just downloaded this for a 10 year period and it won't show even 2027!
I just downloaded this calendar because Outlook's Jewish holidays calendar ends in with December 2026 . . . so I added the Hebcal one to my outlook and it gave me the same exact thing. No information after Hanukkah 2026.
Hebrew date in English with year
Hello, my current calendar shows the full date and year every day e.g. 17 Cheshvan 5787. This was perpetual, but it appears to be expiring soon and so I need to add a new calendar. The new option now shows 17th of Cheshvan without the year, it only shows the year on the 1st of each month. Is there a way to a new perpetual calendar which shows the year for every day?
Hi Michael,
Thanks for reaching out, and for being a long-time user of our calendar feeds.
The new perpetual feed is available at https://www.hebcal.com/ical/. As you noticed, it shows the Hebrew year only on the first day of each month (for example, 1 Cheshvan 5787), and the remaining days show just the day and month (for example, 17 Cheshvan).
I'm sorry to say we don't currently offer a perpetual version that includes the Hebrew year on every day. We chose this format to keep the calendar uncluttered and to keep the feed size manageable.
Thank you for your understanding, and please let us know if there's anything else we can help with.
Kind regards,
Hebcal Support
