Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. Sorry to hear that you are having difficulty subscribing to yahrzeit reminders via email.

Perhaps look in your spam folder for the activation message? The email subject is typically "Activate your Yahrzeit reminders" and the email address sending the message is shabbat-owner@hebcal.com

Step by step instructions are listed here:

Moish 11 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 11 months ago 1

I cannot find a version for my Microsoft Outlook 2021 for Windows. Not Microsoft 365, not for Mac, just the regular Microsoft Office. Is there a reason it is not available here?

Special Haftarah chanting

Natasha Mann 11 months ago updated by Rabbi Natasha Mann 7 months ago 4

Hi all, I am hugely appreciating all the Torah and Haftarah info! 

I think it would be wonderful to have notes under the Haftarot that have special chanting, such as Haftarat Chazon. Maybe a line saying "this Haftarah has special chanting" with a link that takes you somewhere that breaks it down. I understand that some communities might do it differently to ours, in which case laying out the differences might prove too tricky.

Can i create a folder with hebrew date name?

Answer

You could run the Hebcal CLI (command-line interface) as part of your powershell script and capture the output into an environment variable.

https://github.com/hebcal/hebcal


The Hebcal CLI is written in Go, so it's cross-platform and should compile/run just fine on Windows.


Here's what it looks like on Linux/macOS -- should be the same on Windows

$ hebcal -T -h -x | head -1
28th of Iyyar, 5783
$ hebcal -T -h -x --lang=he | head -1
כ״ח אִיָיר תשפ״ג

Tisha B'Av is the Ninth of Av. It is a fast commemorating the destruction of the two Temples.

Tu B'Av is a minor Jewish holiday of love. It is observed on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Av.
