Multiple issues regarding the Shabbat Rest API
1. I was surprised to discover that the API returns way more info than the Candle Lighting and Havdalah dates - I managed to extract these dates by iterating through the items array and checking the title_orig field, but is this the intended way?
2. Is there a way to know the next Shabbat info on Saturday? I attempted around 10 PM but got the current info.
Weekly calculations change every Sunday at midnight in the city’s local time zone.
The returned JSON results includes a list of items that have a category will typically include each of the following:
candles– Candle-lighting on Friday or erev chagparashat– Parashat HaShavua, the weekly Torah portionhavdalah– Havdalah, the end of Shabbat
Depending on the week of the year, other items may appear in the results, including
holiday(withsubcat majororminororfast)zmanim(often withsubcatfastfor “Fast begins” or “Fast ends”)
This API uses a similar URL and response format as our full Jewish calendar REST API, but offers less control over the dates and times. If you find you want more fine-grained control over the date ranges, or what kinds of events are included and which are excluded, we recommend using the full Jewish calendar REST API instead.
"Show Hebrew date for dates with some event" shouldn't trigger for Daily Learning
Daily Learning is incredibly helpful. Hebrew dates only showing when it's a Holiday of some sort (Rosh Chodesh, Yamim Tovim, etc - just to not have the overload of dates every weekday) is also helpful.
The current setting "Show Hebrew date for dates with some event" shows even if one has Daily Learning set to show. Would that behavior be able to be tweaked? Or is there a way to add a setting in a way that isn't complicated?

Please add zmanim according to the Baal Hatanya
Thank you for the great service you provide! It would be great to be able to configure a calendar with zmanim according to the Alter Rebbe of Chabad (Baal Hatanya). They are already implemented by KosherZmanim/KosherJava: https://kosherjava.com/2018/11/27/baal-hatanya-zmanim-added-to-kosherjava/
Extending the wishlist:
- Even better would be to configure the parshios and haftaros according to minhag Chabad.
- Even better would be to configure an alternative to JPS for the parsha summaries and link.
- Even better would be to be able to add the Chabad yoma d'pagra (special days) as requested in topic #1454.
30 day months
Hello,
Thanks for the calendar. Have you ever tried making a calendar with 30 day months?
The Beginning 7:11 and 8:3,4. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, in the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 8:3 And the waters returned from above the earth, going and returning: and after the end of the hundred and fiftieth day the waters abated. 4 And in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, the Ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.
Encyclopædia Britannica has an excellent introduction to the Jewish calendar. Another well written treatment of the Jewish calendar can be found in Understanding the Jewish Calendar by Rabbi Nathan Bushwick.
How to merge calendars?
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!
