How to merge calendars?

Peg 1 month ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 1 month ago 1

I am not very tech savvy but would like to merge the various Yartzeit calendars I've created here, into one usable calendar.  Is this possible to do?

Thanks for your help!

Be well...and may we never need to add any more names to our Yartzeit lists!

Torah readings are provided by Sefaria. Using your computer's print feature, you can print text. Select "Print" from the File menu or click Control + P to use your computer's print function.

Why can’t we go back to Creation?

Lior O 2 months ago 0

I’ve seen you write in a few places about dates before the 1700s BCE not being accurate because of 10 days added. But the days went from Wednesday to Thursday being the next day.. so if all cultures including our culture still kept a 7 day calendar, shouldn’t we be able to zoom out and go back 5785 years ago and see exactly to this day, what day of the week it was on day one?

We would be using the Jewish year and cycle, and the Wednesday to Thursday change shouldn’t effect anything because it’s still accurate within the days of the week.

Lior M 2 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 months ago 1

Hi

could you please add option to add the calendar created in the yearzit+birthdays in the limud yomi settings. So we could create a calendar with Daf Yomi and events.


thank you.

Thanks for using Hebcal and thank you for this suggestion. 

Because the commonly used calendar apps from big companies (Google, Apple, Microsoft) all support the ability to view multiple calendar feeds together, we don’t plan to add this feature to Hebcal. 


Calendars created by Hebcal are easily downloaded and imported into various calendar apps, including iPhone, Google Calendar, Outlook PC, Outlook Web, macOS Calendar, and any app that supports iCalendar (.ics) feeds or subscriptions.

How to edit or delete Yahrzeit date imported into Google Calendar

Reb Dovid 2 months ago updated 2 months ago 2

After importing a yahrzeit calendar into Google Calendar (by downloading an ics file and importing it into Google Calendar), I realized I had entered one of the yahrzeit dates incorrectly when creating the calendar in HebCal. I corrected the mistake but couldn't import the corrected yahrzeit calendar into Google Calendar without first unsubscribing from the first yahrzeit calendar. Importing the corrected yahrzeit calendar worked, except that I now have two dates for the affected yahrzeit: the original, mistaken date and the corrected date.

How can I delete (every occurrence of) the mistaken yahrzeit date from Google Calendar? When I click on the entry in Google Calendar, editing and deleting are not options.

Thank you in advance for your help.

If you subscribed to a Hebcal calendar using our recommended Google Calendar Jewish holidays subscription option, follow our Google Calendar unsubscribe instructions to remove it from your Google Calendar list.

If you manually downloaded Hebcal events using our Google Calendar alternative instructions and imported them into separate calendar (listed under “My calendars”), follow these instructions:

  1. On your computer, open Google Calendar.
  2. In the top right, click Settings  >  Settings.
  3. In the left column, find the calendar you want to delete.
  4. Click the name of the calendar.
  5. Click Remove calendar >  Delete > Delete permanently.

If you manually downloaded Hebcal events and merged them with (embedded them into) your personal calendar, the process is more difficult. Unfortunately, Google does not provide a simple way to bulk delete multiple calendar events. Although there really isn’t another option than to delete each event individually, you can change your view to Schedule view to see more events at once. From here you can delete each event individually and even make use of the search feature to find the events that you’re looking for.

  1. While in Google Calendar, click on the date range dropdown at the top right and change the view to Schedule view.
  2. Click on the magnifying glass icon at the top and search for the events that you’d like to delete. For example, try searching for “hebcal”
  3. Click on an event and then on the trash can symbol in the popup to delete it.

For other recommendations on how to remove multiple events from Google Calendar, see this excellent article: Google Calendar – Delete Multiple Events At Once (2022).
