remove Hebcal from Mac
I downloaded the Hebcal to my Apple Mac computer instead of subscribing. it now shows duplicates of all Hebcal events. I want to delete all of it and then subscribe that will hopefully give me one event. Help.
Thanks for using Hebcal, and sorry to hear about your difficulty with duplicate events.
If you inadvertently merged the Hebcal calendar events with your personal calendar and you didn’t use the Subscription feature, use our delete Hebcal merged events instructions.
Please let us know if you have any further questions!
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. Sorry to hear about a mixup. We see 5:12pm coming from our website (and differences of one minute are typical and expected).
Are you using 18 minutes before sunset for your Shabbat candle-lighting times, or did you pick a different option?

Chag HaBanot / Eid al-Banat
I did a search on HebCal and was surprised at the omission of this North African Jewish holiday, which is increasingly observed among Jews globally. Can you please provide a listing and calendar dates for it? So far, what I find online is that it falls on the sixth day of Hanukkah/Rosh Chodesh Tevet. As a holiday that celebrates girls and women, Chag HaBanot is becoming very popular, and also incorporates more Jewish diversity into our calendar. Thank you.
We've added the holiday to our calendar.

Shabbos/Yom Tov times not on Outlook download
In the past downloading the Holidays included Shabbos/Yom Tov start times but they're no longer there. How do I download times?
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!
To get Shabbos/Yom Tov times for your city, visit our custom calendar creator at https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal
Check the various holiday/event options you want, and then type the name of your city in the "Candle-lighting & Fast times" box, and then pick from the drop-down list. See screen-shot below.
Then, click Create Calendar.
Then, you'll be able to click the Download button and select your calendar app (Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple, etc)
Year of Creation
According to my calculations the first year of creation was -3761.
Year 2022 corresponds to 5782/3.
Year 1 corresponds to 3761/2.
There was no year 0 on the Gregorian Calendar.
Year -1 corresponds to 3760/1.
Since there was no year 0 on the Hebrew Calendar either, I subtract 3759 and find that the Hebrew year 1 corresponded to Gregorian year -3760 but it actually started in -3761.
Why does HebCal return -3759?
Understood. And yes, you're correct that this is a bug. Any date conversion between Gregorian and Hebrew calendars involving dates prior to the year 1752 C.E. (Hebrew year 5512) or earlier is guaranteed to be inaccurate.
Hebcal does not take into account a correction of eleven days that was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII known as the Gregorian Reformation. Wednesday, 2 September 1752, was followed by Thursday, 14 September 1752.
This has been a known issue with Hebcal for 30 years, and we haven't yet found the time to fix the bug.
If you're a programmer, we'd welcome a pull request.
You could either start with Go implementation of Hebcal (look at the FromRD/ToRD functions)
https://github.com/hebcal/hdate/blob/main/hdate.go
Or with the ECMAScript/JavaScript implementation (look at functions abs2hebrew and hebrew2abs)

Using Hebcal for a physical yahrzeit Board
Hello,
In our Synagogue in Amsterdam RAS sjoel - RAS Sjoel we just installed a wooden Yharzeit board. In the small indivual name boards there is a lamp. The idea is that the lamp is switched on 2-3 days before the date and 2-3 after the date switched off. At present we are doing this manually, but we would like to do this automatically.
In the back of the board we can install a kind of relay wich guides the lamps to switch on the gregorian date using the type of tables that are used by Hebcal/
Questions:
- Anybody having experience with this kind of solution ?
- Does anybody know and /or heard of a similar solution
- Is it possible to use the API.
Any advise and help is very welcome.
Thanks
