If you subscribed to annual email reminders, you can search for an existing Yahrzeit + Anniversary Calendar by email address here:

https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit/search


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.

pjacobson 1 year ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 1 year ago 2

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

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

Trying to create the calendar for 2026 but it starts from Feb.  January is missing

Answer
Michael J. Radwin 1 year ago

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

Orh1989 1 year ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 1 year ago 4

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

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

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

B Frieslander 1 year ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 1 year ago 2

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?

Date for havdalah moti pesach /24 WRONG

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

your calendar  for 2024 for North American cities has April 29//24 as the date for havdalah, end of pesach. That is wrong. It ends April 30.
