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.

5787 spreadsheets don't have RH1 minha reading

werschulz art yesterday at 5:46 a.m. updated by Michael J. Radwin yesterday at 10:57 a.m. 1

The first day of Rosh Hashanah for 5787 is on Shabbat, and so there's a minha leining on the first day of RH.  This doesn't appear in either the diaspora or Israeli spreadsheets.

Thanks for your message. Hebcal does not publish regular Shabbat mincha Torah readings on our Leyning spreadsheet downloads nor via the Leyning (Torah Reading) API. We publish weekday readings only for Mondays & Thursdays. We do publish Mincha readings on those spreadsheets for fast day holidays that have a special mincha reading (YK, 9Av, and minor fasts like Asara B'Tevet / Tzom Tammuz).

When Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbat (Saturday), the Torah scroll is read during Mincha, but it does not feature a holiday-specific reading. Instead, following the standard Shabbat afternoon practice, the community reads the very beginning (the first section/aliyah) of the upcoming weekly Torah portion (the Parshah) for the next week.

In the case of Rosh Hashanah 5787 which occurs on Sat, 12 September 2026, the Shabbat mincha reading is Parashat Ha’azinu, the upcoming regular weekly parsha

    The yahrzeit export to Outlook PC is including the day before reminder regardless of the checkbox status - no way to get rid of the day before reminder. Please fix this.

    My apple calendar ends after shavuot

    Aron T 3 weeks ago updated 3 weeks ago 6

    I recently notice that my Hebcal ends after Shavuot. I deleted the old one, recreated the calendar, used the subscribe option for Apple, added it to my iCloud, and it still ends after Shavuot on both my iPad and iPhone (I added it on my iPad FYI). Any ideas - again this is not a download but a subscription.

    Thanks for sending this calendar URL, this has helped us to debug the issue.

    The issue is that you have selected 9 different Daily Learning calendars (Perek Yomi, Tanakh Yomi, Psalms, Daily Rambam, etc) in a single calendar feed, which results in a calendar feed that contains more than the maximum (2400) number of events in a calendar feed.

    Size limitations imposed by Google and other calendar clients starting in 2016 require that Hebcal limit the number of events per calendar feed. If the options you select generate many events, the feed may need to be shortened.


    This problem is described in a bit more detail on this page:

    https://www.hebcal.com/home/1398/number-of-years-in-calendar-feed-subscriptions

    Our recommended workaround is to use multiple subscriptions. If you subscribe to 10 different calendar feeds (one for regular holidays + Tel Aviv candle-lighting times and the other 9 for each individual learning calendar), we can control the length of the feed and often provide multiple years of event lookahead.


    An added advantage of the multi-subscription approach is that you can choose separate colors in Google Calendar or iOS/iCloud calendar for each calendar event feed.

    over 67% of the market are android users. More so here in Israel.

    bad bocher 4 weeks ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 weeks ago 1

    Over 67% of the market are android users. More so her in Israel. That means that over 67% of us cannot use your luach. Makes sense to you? Not to me.
