BC converter no longer works - even with the 10day accuracy warning - how can we use an older version of the website?!

what good reason could you possibly have to break your own converter? your BC Hebrew/Gregorian converter no longer works - even with your CYA "10day accuracy" warning - how can we get it back or use an older version of the website?!

The Hebrew Date Converter now supports BCE dates

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?hd=11&hm=Sivan&hy=1234&h2g=1

11th of Sivan, 1234 = Sat, 9 May 2526 B.C.E.

    Outlook 2016 - Days Cross Over

    Neil M 7 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago 1

    Downloaded ICS for Outlook 2016 for Israel. However, it shows each day as staddling two days e.g. 1 AV will start on one english day and carry onto the next. I think its because its picking up each "event" as starting at 1am and finishing at 1am.

    Hi Neil, thanks for being a long time Hebcal user and reporting this bug many years ago. Although we corresponded privately recently, I'm also answering this question here for others who may be searching for the answer.

    We were finally able to reproduce this error on Outlook 365 web. We made two changes to our iCalendar feeds to fix the problem for you:

    1. Our .ics feeds so they include X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:TRUE which according to some Microsoft documentation might fix the problem.

    2. Our VTIMEZONE implementation for Asia/Jerusalem (the timezone that is used throughout Israel) has been modified so it only uses a simpler, current Daylight Saving Time rules (which clocks are advanced by one hour, beginning on the Friday before the last Sunday of March, and ending on the last Sunday of October). This is perfectly accurate for any calendars 2013 and later (when the Israeli government standardized and simplified DST rules).

    Shana Tova!

    Just Yom tov calender.

    sherry-bevels-0p 3 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago 5

    I know the yom tovs are in bold on the hebcal calender but just want a yom tov calender please.


    a yom tov calender would allow one to know there is no work simply by the fact that the entry exists. No I interpretation or further analysis needed. 

    Answer
    Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago

    We've added a feature for IFTTT and other APIs where you can append ?yto=1 to a Hebcal URL so the events that show up are only yom tov holidays.

    For example:

    https://download.hebcal.com/v4/CAFAAWoBc4ABAZgBAaABAQ/hebcal.ics?yto=1

    For Gregorian year 2023, for example, only the following holidays would be considered Yom Tov:

    Thu 06 AprPesach I
    Fri 07 AprPesach II
    Wed 12 AprPesach VII
    Thu 13 AprPesach VIII
    Fri 26 MayShavuot I
    Sat 27 MayShavuot II
    Sat 16 SepRosh Hashana 5784
    Sun 17 SepRosh Hashana II
    Mon 25 SepYom Kippur
