Hi, thanks for writing to Hebcal. We're sorry to hear that you're having difficulty getting a 2026 calendar on your Apple device.

Calendars exported from Hebcal via our subscription feeds (using iCalendar format) are typically “perpetual”. That is, they contain events for the current year (Gregorian or Hebrew) plus some number of years into the future. Most downloads (including Apple, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook) support these perpetual calendar subscription feeds.

When you create a custom calendar on Hebcal.com, you are presented with a dialog box that look like the screenshot below. Even if you enter a future year like 2026, you'll see text that says something like this (highlighted in yellow in the screenshot below):

This subscription is a 4-year perpetual calendar feed with events for the current year (2025) plus 3 future years.

You will also see a grey button that says something like Download 2026 only (highlighted in orange in the screenshot below).  Click that button to download a 1-year .ics file and then import it into your calendar app, taking care to create a separate calendar and import Hebcal events into that new, separate calendar (lest you unintentionally add hundreds of events to your personal calendar).

Most users prefer the perpetual calendar feed because it's much easier to use and they can subscribe once and the calendar will be up-to-date for many years to come.

We're sorry to hear that you found an error in your birthday calendar and need to make a correction.

This article describes how to make changes to a Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar that you downloaded, exported or subscribed to in a calendar app like Outlook, Google Calendar / Android, or Apple (iOS, iPhone, iPad or Mac). These instructions apply to personal events such as yahrzeits, Hebrew Birthdays, and Hebrew Anniversaries.

Thanks for using 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.

If you add your Hebcal events to one of those popular web-based calendars, you should see the same calendar events on all devices that are connected to that calendar app.

Thank you for this feedback!

As you know, Sefaria offers multiple translations of many books in the library which gives you and your students the opportunity to choose your favorite or compare among one or more translations.

Sefaria has a couple of articles that both give instructions for picking your preferred translation and their philosophy on why they offer multiple translations.

https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/383892?lang=bi

Note that if you set your preferred translation while you are logged into Sefaria, you will continue to get that exact translation offered to you every time you return to Sefaria as a logged-in user.

We intend to continue to use the URL linking structure we already use on Hebcal.com, because it lets Sefaria display each user's preferred translation.

The approach you suggest above would force users to always see the 2023 translation, which would be an editorial decision that we do not wish to impose upon our users. We would prefer to let them see the translation of their own choosing.

Thanks so much for the suggestion. Hebcal.com does not have an official Android app. There is an app on the Google Play Store that uses the Hebcal name and is unaffiliated with Hebcal.com

Although we do not currently have any plans to make an official Android app, you can export Hebcal calendar events to Goggle Calendar and then your Android device will see the events.
