Our IP has been blocked to use www.hebcal.com

PBX PA 5 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 5 months ago 1

Dear Team:

  We found today that our IP address has been blocked to access www.hebcal.com, specifically to get the parashat for a specific date like https://www.hebcal.com/converter?cfg=json&date=2026-01-21


We are using this call to display the right hebrew date and parashat and events in our Shul.


Please let us know what we can do to unblock our IP 23.23.30.32.


Best regards,

We are not blocking your IP address.

Your DNS server is caching IP addresses much longer than it should. We changed our IP address more than 24 hours ago, and for some reason your Internet Service Provider is not respecting standard DNS Time-To-Live.

$ host www.hebcal.com
www.hebcal.com is an alias for www-vip.hebcal.com.
www-vip.hebcal.com has address 129.212.148.210


If you're running your own DNS and caching beyond standard TTLs, flush your cache. Otherwise, ask your ISP to follow Internet standards.

Outlook Import not working any longer

paul pinkus 6 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 5 months ago 2

I have imported the Hebrew calendar to my Outlook for many years but when I try to do so for 2026, I get a screen saying "working" which never finishes.  I was successful in downloading yahrtzeits but not the Calendar. Outlook is on my computer (and synced with my Android phone), not Outlook.web. Please help.

printing calendars no longer include daf yomi, even if selected. how do I restore that?

Harry Pell 6 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 6 months ago 1

Thank you - I love HebCal.

When I generate a calendar for printing, it includes Daf Yomi if selected, but when I go to print the calendar, the Daf Yomi disappears. How do I fix that?

Todah!

how get hebrew bce calendar

Answer
Michael J. Radwin 6 months ago

You can enter a negative date such as -123 for 124 BCE in our date converter, e.g.:

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?gd=11&gm=1&gy=-123&gs=on&g2h=1


Or on our custom calendar tool, e.g.:

https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal?v=1&year=-586&yt=G&i=off&maj=on&min=on&nx=on&mf=on&ss=on

Warning! Converting between Hebrew and Gregorian dates for very early years is mathematically possible, but the results should be treated as approximations rather than historically precise dates. [1]

Deleting duplicate calendar downloads

Rhon NYC 6 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 5 months ago 4

I accidentally downloaded the holiday calendar twice - possibly 3x - to my MS Outlook calendar. How can I undo all the dupes? 

Answer

We have confirmed that this bulk delete feature is only available in Classic Outlook. Microsoft provides instructions on how to go back to classic Outlook for Windows

Not a bug

2026 download has 2025 data.

dwisotsky 6 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 6 months ago 8

I've tried downloading ics, subscribing. The calendar displayed on the screen is correct but the downloaded contents do not include 2026.

Answer
Michael J. Radwin 6 months ago

Our recommended workaround is to use multiple calendar subscriptions.

Daf Yomi and other daily learning multi-year iCalendar feeds are also available at https://www.hebcal.com/ical/#learning for Apple, Google, and any iCalendar application. Because each of these dedicated calendar feed is guaranteed to contain only a single daily learning schedule, we can control the length and 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.

We're really sorry we can't cram everything into a single iCalendar feed for multiple years in the future. 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

Please add tefillah luach

MoisheDovid 6 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 6 months ago 1

This is a wonderful website that I use frequently.  It would be even more terrific if you could add all the tefillah details needed for each day of the calendar. (i.e. prayer additions/substrations, special notes, etc.) I cannot find another free source for this information.

Answer
Michael J. Radwin 6 months ago

Thanks for your message. According to our calendar, April 9, 1942 (before sundown) is the 8th day of Pesach, not the 7th day of Pesach:


Thu, 9 April 1942 = 22nd of Nisan, 5702

כ״ב בְּנִיסָן תש״ב

Parashat Shmini

7th day of the Omer

🫓 Pesach VIII 🫓 in the Diaspora


If you click after sunset you will see this:

Thu, 9 April 1942 after sunset = 23rd of Nisan, 5702
כ״ג בְּנִיסָן תש״ב
Parashat Shmini
8th day of the Omer

Note the Hebrew date is displayed in two different places:

In Hebrew: כ״ג בְּנִיסָן תש״ב

In transliteration: 23rd of Nisan, 5702
