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.

problem resolved

thank you so very much

Thanks for the feedback; this short description comes directly from Wikipedia and was out of sync with the current Wikipedia page. It has been updated to the latest version of Wikipedia:

Yom HaZikaron laShoah ve-laG’vurah (Hebrew: יום הזיכרון לשואה ולגבורה, lit. ’Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day’), known colloquially in Israel and abroad as Yom HaShoah (Hebrew: יום השואה, Yiddish: יום השואה) and in English as Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Holocaust Day, is Israel’s day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust by Nazi Germany and its allies, and for the Jewish resistance in that period. In Israel, it is a national Memorial day, but several Jewish communities around the world observe the day as well. The first official commemorations took place in 1951, and the observance of the day was anchored in a law passed by the Knesset in 1959. It is held on the 27th of Nisan (which falls in April or May), unless the 27th would be adjacent to the Jewish Sabbath, in which case the date is shifted by a day.

Thanks for your question. We don't offer a dedicated parsha widget, but you can do something like this using our API

Hi, thank you for your thoughtful question!

This is a fascinating topic in Jewish history, but it's beyond the scope of what Hebcal.com covers — we focus on providing Jewish calendar dates, holiday times, and Torah readings rather than historical analysis.

Here are some great places to dig deeper:

• Wikipedia's "Tisha B'Av" article has a good overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tisha_B%27Av

• TheTorah.com has an excellent scholarly article called "Tisha B'Av: On What Day Were the Jerusalem Temples Destroyed?" that directly addresses your question: https://www.thetorah.com/article/tisha-b-av-on-what-day-were-the-jerusalem-temples-destroyed

• The Talmud itself (Ta'anit 29a) discusses this — you can find it on Sefaria.org

Hope that helps point you in the right direction!

Hebcal doesn’t have a denominational bias. The authors are Jewish and we embrace every movement and denomination of Judaism: Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Chabad, Reconstructionist, Renewal, Liberal, and Humanist. We are observant of the mitzvot, and we offer this website because we want to help other Jews with their observance. This website also serves as a reference and resource for non-Jews who wish to avoid scheduling secular events in a way that would interfere with observance of Jewish holidays.

You could call us “Conservadox” if you must use a label, but we don’t really participate in any one movement of Judaism more than others. 

Hi Hilary,

Thanks for reaching out, and glad you're enjoying the Hebcal calendar (emojis and all!).

Great news — this is easy to fix! If you subscribe to the calendar using Outlook's "Internet Calendar Subscription" feature, the holidays will appear on a separate calendar layer rather than being added directly to your primary calendar. That means they won't affect your availability or set you as Out of Office.

You can find step-by-step instructions here:

https://www.hebcal.com/home/8/outlook-ics-jewish-holidays

Once you set it up this way, you'll still see all the holidays on your calendar — they just won't interfere with your free/busy status.

If you downloaded a copy of the Hebcal events and merged them into your own calendar, then yes, the major holidays are set as Out of Office (although minor holidays are not). To remove those merged events, follow these instructions:

Let me know if you have any further questions!
