when using the API, to get the next occurrence, omit the start and end parameters, and specify years=2. Then, in the returned results, examine the date in the first item. If the date is before today, then ignore the first item and use the second item. If the date of the first item is today or later, then the first item is the next upcoming observance.

Hi, sorry to hear you are having difficulty changing the name on a personal Yahrzeit calendar. Have you tried following the instructions on this page?

https://www.hebcal.com/home/632/how-to-make-changes-to-a-yahrzeit-anniversary-calendar

if you have tried these instructions and you’re still having trouble, please send your private calendar URL via email to support@hebcal.com and we can help diagnose further. 

Thanks for your message. What you're seeing in iOS 26 is a feature of Apple's operating system called Alternate Calendars and not something that Hebcal.com controls.

If you don't wish to see the Hebrew date in Hebrew, you can disable the Hebrew calendar on iOS 26 following Apple's instructions:

1. Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Apps, then tap Calendar.
3. Do any of the following:
   • Display the Chinese, Hebrew, or Hijri calendar: Tap Alternate Calendars, then choose a calendar.
   • Display the week number next to every week of the year: Turn on Week Numbers.
   • Show the current day as the first day in Week view: Turn on Week View Starts On Today.
   • Choose a different day to start the week: Tap Start Week On, then tap a day.
