Eleven months calculator for end of Kaddish for Parent

Rabbi David Cantor 3 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 months ago 1

we have a local tradition of saying Kaddish for a parent for "Eleven months less a day". I would find it helpful to have "the end of Kaddish for a parent" date added to the Yahrzeit calculator, and also the ability to count the first yahrzeit from the day of burial.

Hi, thanks for your message!

We are not AppSheet experts. Have you tried bringing Hebcal data into Google Calendar, and then from Google Calendar into AppSheet?

Hi, thanks for your message. We're not sure what you mean by glitch? The web page looks correct to us.

Thu, 20 June 2024 = 14th of Sivan, 5784

י״ד בְּסִיוָן תשפ״ד

Parashat Beha’alotcha

    When you click on the parsha link, it takes you to the Torah reading for that week which is Parashat Beha’alotcha. The date listed on the Parashat Beha’alotcha page is always the Shabbat that the parsha is read... in this case, it is Saturday, 22 June 2024.

    If you see a page that incorrectly has the date June 26 on it, could you send the URL and/or a screenshot?

    Thanks for using the Hebcal date converter.

    Unfortunately, no, we do not offer a timezone parameter or another web API to determine the Hebrew date based on the current date in a timezone.

    You can do this in JavaScript using our Zmanim JavaScript API using something like the following code

    const {Location, Zmanim, HDate} = require('@hebcal/core');
    const location = Location.lookup('Boston');
    const now = new Date();
    const zmanim = new Zmanim(location, now, false);
    const sunset = zmanim.sunset();
    let hd = new HDate(now);
    if (now >= sunset) {
      hd = hd.next();
    }

    Thanks for your message! You can find the Omer calendar download/subscription feed here:

    https://www.hebcal.com/ical/

    We have also added a download button to that page to make it easier to download/subscribe to a calendar feed if you are already on the Omer page.

    Yahrzeit on 30 Adar I

    bellzw 4 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 months ago 1

    For a yahrzeit that occurs on 30 Adar I 5760, Hebcal produces a table showing the yahrzeit occurring on 1 Nisan in non-leap years.  Yet the discussion at https://www.hebcal.com/home/54/anniversaries-adar-cheshvan-kislev seems to say that it should be on the last day of Shevat (30 Shevat) in non-leap years. I've attached a screen shot of what I see.

    Image 269

    Have I misunderstood something?  BTW, Chabad shows me an anniversary calendar with the yahrzeit on 30 Shevat in non-leap years.

    Answer
    Michael J. Radwin 4 months ago

    Hi, thanks for contacting Hebcal.

    To calculate yahrzeit dates, please use our Yahrzeit + Anniversary Calendar page. You will note that if you enter 11-March-2005 you will get the Ashkenazic practice for 30 Adar I.

    Thank you for posting a screenshot from our simple Hebcal Hebrew Date converter. The Hebrew Date Converter page does not follow the special rules for a yahrzeit.

    Not a bug

    Some Parshiyot missing

    Beisee 4 months ago updated 4 months ago 4

    Hi

    I'm enjoying your moduls very much!! Thank you!!!

    On this modul https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal?parshat&v=1&cfg=json&s=on&leyning=off&date={{now}}&lg=a

    I noticed now that the Parshas Hashavua of this week, Parshas Vayigash (פרשת ויגש), Vaychi (פרשת ויחי) & (פרשת וזאת הברכה) don't apear. It gives 49 Parshiyot instead of 52

    Please check

    Thank you!

    thanks for your message. You are correct that Parashat Vayechi is not read during the Gregorian year 2024. This is not a bug. Parashat Vayechi is read once every Hebrew year but is not guaranteed to be read during every Gregorian year.

    Note the dates that the parsha is read below, and you will see that although it is read once every Hebrew year, it is sometimes read twice in the same Gregorian year and not at all in the following Gregorian year.

    Parashat Vezot Habracha is not read on Shabbat. Instead it is read during Simchat Torah.
