Hebrew title for a recurring birthday event
Currently, you allow creating a recurring Hebrew birthday event. But you force the user to accept the title you give with the text "'s 19th Hebrew Birthday". I don't like it because it is displayed on my device from left to right, and also because it is an English title when all the events in my Google calendar are in Hebrew. Can you give the option to choose the text, or at least choose whether the text will be in Hebrew or English?
If you subscribed to annual email reminders, you can search for an existing Yahrzeit + Anniversary Calendar by email address here:

If you did not subscribe by email, but you created a Yahrzeit list and then subscribed in your calendar app (e.g. Apple, Google, Microsoft Outlook, etc), then you can follow instructions on this page:

Day information slightly lacking.
Hi, this is a brilliant website. One suggestion: more information about current day. When I go to Hebcal, I want to know the parsha and whether there's anything addition like shabbat mvarchin. Today is shabbat mvarchin but it is not mentioned. I have to look at Rosh Chodesh list, manually to find out when it is.
We have added Mevarchim Chodesh when it occurs to the homepage and Hebrew Date Converter
January 2026 is missing
Trying to create the calendar for 2026 but it starts from Feb. January is missing
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.
If there are no events in a month at the beginning or end of a year, the month will appear blank. This can happen in January, for example, when you adjust th calendar settings to disable Rosh Chodesh.
If you wish to see January 2026, be sure to have the Rosh Chodesh and/or Special Shabbatot box checked as follows:
You have an excellent "custom calendar" generator that has a square for every day of the year. It would be great if the entries from my "yartzeit list", also on this website, can be included in my custom calendar. Thanks for a great product!

Thanks for the suggestion. To merge a Jewish holiday calendar and a personal Yahrzeit/Anniversary calendar into the same view, we recommend importing your Hebcal events into a separate calendar app.
We provide step-by-step instructions for importing into Apple, Google, Outlook and other calendar apps.
Hi, thanks for contacting Hebcal.
We do not offer an iPhone app for Hebcal just yet. We do offer two options that could be useful to you:
1. Jewish holiday downloads for iPhone

2. Hebcal app for Apple Watch
"isHoliday" property
Hi
Could you extend the json response for the
https://www.hebcal.com/converter?cfg=json&date=2024-05-14&g2h=1&strict=1
so it will contains a property says "isHoliday" or something like that?
I believe if you know to point that is Yom HaAtzma’ut, you will know to mention true or false for "isHoliday".
Just to clarify, 29 Elul (for example) is also consider as holiday, since it's half day work (non-business day).
thanks
for details about holidays, we recommend you instead use the Jewish Calendar API
https://www.hebcal.com/home/195/jewish-calendar-rest-api
you can control the event types by specifying exactly which holidays you want to see, and when parsing the result you can use the category and subcat fields to understand what types of holiday events the API returns
Different haftarot between hebcal and the Hertz Chumash 2nd edition (1960) for Acharei Mot and Kedoshim
Acharei Mot and Kedoshim are the readings for 5/4/2024 and 5/11/2024. Hebcal and Hertz, however, show different haftaroth for the full kriyoth for Ashkenazim:
Hebcal | Hertz | |
| Acharei Mot, Ashkenazim | Amos 9:7-15 | Ezekiel 22:1-19 |
| Kedoshim, Ashkenazim | Ezekiel 22:1-19 | Amos 9:7-15 |
Can someone shed light on this discrepancy?
Multiple yahrzeit reminders
I always receive multiple reminders for each yarhzeit. Today for example I received 4 email reminders for a yahrzeit tomorrow night Friday. Just the one email reminder is fine. What do I have to do?
