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.

Yahrzeit Reminders

Kay S 1 week ago • updated by Michael J. Radwin 1 week ago • 1

My yahrzeits are showing up twice . . . once on the evening it starts, around the time to light a candle and again the next day in the "all day" area at the top of my Apple calendar. Is there a way to delete the evening one and just have it show up at the top?

Answer

Hi Kay,


Thanks for reaching out! The evening entry you’re seeing is likely coming from the “Calendar reminder day before yahrzeit” option, which adds a separate reminder the evening before the actual yahrzeit date. This is in addition to the main all-day yahrzeit event.


To stop the evening entry from showing up, just uncheck the “Calendar reminder day before yahrzeit” box on the Download page before subscribing or downloading your .ics file. That should leave you with just the all-day event at the top of your calendar, without the extra evening reminder.


If you’ve already subscribed, you’ll want to re-subscribe (or re-download) after unchecking that box so the calendar feed updates.


Let me know if that resolves it!

MISSING! Torah reading for Rosh Hashana Day 1 Mincha Service on Shabbat

Brenda2 2 weeks ago • updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 weeks ago • 1

When RH falls on Shabbat, as it does this year in 2026, there's an additional Torah reading during the Mincha service as follows:


Aliyah 1:  Deuteronomy 32:1-3

Aliyah 2:  Deuteronomy 32:4-6

Aliyah 3:  Deuteronomy 32:7-12

These are missing in the Holiday Torah reading tables!  Kindly add this.

Thank you!

Thanks for the careful report! Good news: this reading isn't actually missing — and it's not technically a Rosh Hashana reading, which is why it's not in the holiday tables.

Rosh Hashana itself has no afternoon (Mincha) Torah reading. The reason there's a Mincha reading this year is simply that Rosh Hashana Day 1 falls on Shabbat, and on every Shabbat afternoon we read the opening aliyot of the coming week's parsha. The parsha after Rosh Hashana 5787 is Ha'azinu, so the Shabbat-Mincha reading is Deuteronomy 32:1-12 (exactly the three aliyot you listed).

We publish these Shabbat-afternoon readings (which are identical to the Monday/Thursday weekday readings) in our weekday leyning spreadsheet rather than the holiday tables, to avoid confusion between the Shabbat morning and Shabbat afternoon services. You'll find Ha'azinu 32:1-12 there.

By contrast, Yom Kippur Mincha (Leviticus 18 + Jonah) is in the holiday tables, because that one is an intrinsic part of the day itself, read every year regardless of whether YK falls on Shabbat or another day of the week.

Shalom. The custom calendars for download for 5787, instead of showing two months of Adar (1 and 2), show two months of "Nisan".
