Edit Yahrzeit Calendar

chaim78 1 year ago updated 5 months ago 10

Hi

I created a yahrzeit calendar (after August 2020), and downloaded to Google Calendar (the standard method listed), but I need to edit it and would like to add another name. On your website and here it says to either go back to hebcal.com/yahrzeit or to open the event in google calendar and click on the link - I tried both ways, but when I click update calendar after making my edits my calendar doesn't update. I tried downloading again, but google says this calendar is already installed. I tried unsubscribing to the calendar, making my changes, and downloading, but it downloads what I originally entered without the edits I made. Am I missing something?

Additionally, I see it automatically created a "reminder" event the day before each yahrzeit - is there any way to eliminate this?

Hi, thanks for using the Hebcal Date Converter JSON API. To get events translated in other languages, you can specify lg=LANGUAGE in the URL, for example:

Hebrew

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?gd=9&gm=11&gy=2023&g2h=1&cfg=json&lg=he

Spanish

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?gd=9&gm=11&gy=2023&g2h=1&cfg=json&lg=es

Thanks for contacting Hebcal! The warnings in the screenshot you attached seem to be for a website called yahrzeitmemorial.net which is not affiliated with Hebcal.com. We regret that we cannot help with that website. Please contact the owner of yahrzeitmemorial.net to ask them to address the cross site scripting bug.

iOS widget for watchOS 10 Smart Stack please

suzskyer 1 year ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 1 year ago 1

It would be great to have a HebCal widget that we can add to a watchOS 10 Smart Stack for Apple Watch. This would enable Apple Watch users choosing not to use the HebCal complication (for example, if they are using the Snoopy face) to still see the HebCal info. Thanks for considering!

And another way to calculate it is to convert to Gregorian and then use a date difference website:

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?hd=19&hm=Tamuz&hy=5744&h2g=1

19th of Tamuz, 5744 = Thu, 19 July 1984

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?hd=24&hm=Tishrei&hy=5784&h2g=1

24th of Tishrei, 5784 = Mon, 9 October 2023

Then visit the Days Calculator: Days Between Two Dates calculator

From and including: Thursday, July 19, 1984
To and including: Monday, October 9, 2023
https://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?m1=10&d1=09&y1=2023&m2=07&d2=19&y2=1984&ti=on


Result: 14,327 days
It is 14,327 days from the start date to the end date, end date included.

Or 39 years, 2 months, 21 days including the end date.

Or 470 months, 21 days including the end date.

Please reinstate the readings lists for Chol Hamoed dates of yom tovim AND list of readings for weekday minyanim (for non yom tovs) for Diaspora users.

JNNLT 1 year ago updated 1 year ago 6

Hi - I use Hebcal when I daven and it has been essential to accessing the correct readings during minyan and during chol hamoed, such as for Sukkot. The page used to pull up the readings list for each date (ie, Monday, Thursday and Shabbat readings and similarly for Chol Hamoed for Sukkot, Pesach, etc.) Not sure why this was stopped, but it is an essential and unique feature that many of us rely on. Could you please put it back so that the date pulls up a listing of the readings for that date, not just the readings for the upcoming Shabbat? And if the reading would be different for Diaspora than for Israel that week, could you please post the diaspora readings list as well like you used to include? Thank you and Moadim L'simcha.
