Erev Chag vs Chol Hamoed

Gershon G 1 year ago updated 1 year ago 2

Image 297

As you can see, in the first yom tov of pesach, the day where the holiday comes in is marked as "Erev Pesach" whereas at the end of chol hamoed, the last yom tov doesn't have such a designation so that when it gets imported into outlook, the user does not know that it is really a half day and not a real, full chol hamoed day.

Hebcal core on react app not working

davidamiga14 1 year ago updated 8 months ago 10

Hi

I tried using the @hebcal/core library on a react project, but it gives me this error when launching the app


./node_modules/@hebcal/core/dist/index.mjs 6243:10
Module parse failed: Unexpected token (6243:10)
File was processed with these loaders:
* ./node_modules/babel-loader/lib/index.js
You may need an additional loader to handle the result of these loaders.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks

By the way, we can get your app to work just fine if you make the following changes:

tefillin times based on zip code in USA

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

Can Hebcal create a link to tefillin times based on USA zip codes?

Answer
Michael J. Radwin 1 year ago

Thanks for your question. The Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah, occurs in the autumn. The year changes from 5784 to 5785 on Wednesday 2 October 2024.


For more information read the Wikipedia article describing the 4 new years in the Hebrew calendar

How to get zmanim from lat and long only

davidamiga14 1 year ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 1 year ago 3

Hi

I want to get zmanim infromation for a location but I only have the lat and long of the user

How can I use the API to get all information just with that?

In the documentation I found that to get zmanim I need the geolocation, but to get that I need the name and timeZoneId, but I don't have those

Ical available for Shabbos licht times?

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

https://www.hebcal.com/ical/

https://www.hebcal.com/shabbat

I would love to put Shabbos licht times in my Thunderbird calendar, but I cannot find that on the Shabbos times page or the iCal page. I currently make use of several resources from the iCal page, but wish there was an option to import licht times.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

It would be convenient if it were something like:

webcal://download.hebcal.com/ical/shabbat-times-zip11111.ics

Thanks for using Hebcal!


Shabbat times can indeed be downloaded to iCalendar but we could improve our user experience to make this easier to find.

From a Shabbat times page like this one:

https://www.hebcal.com/shabbat?zip=02906&ue=on&M=on&lg=s

If you click the "2024 calendar" button like below:

Which will take you to a page that lets you download/subscribe as follows:

Wrong date after sunset

Mark Y 1 year ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 1 year ago 1

Hebcal is my favourite watch complication!


The watch complication correctly shows the Hebrew date after sunset. So on Motsae Shabbat it shows Yom Rishon. 
However clicking on the date shows the previous day. So on Motsae Shabbat it shows Shabbat.

It would be great if this little bug could be fixed.

Cannot edit existing Yahrtzeit Calendar

Schwann240 1 year ago updated 1 year ago 5

I've been trying to edit an existing Yahrtzeit calendar that I subscribe to in iCal. On the Hebcal help page it says:

1. First, navigate to https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit

2. Next, click the existing calendar link under the “View or edit an existing personal calendar” section of the page

But I've scoured the page over and over and cannot find a “View or edit an existing personal calendar”section on that page. Am I missing something?

different colors

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

hi, I want to suggest that Yahrzeit , anniversaries and birthdays will get a different colors.

it will be nicer for the eyes

maybe the color is google calendar function, so it will be good to have option that the calendar will recognize these as different types of events.

I also want to add birthdays of people that are not live but want it to be with different color.

the issue is that it is not one event that repeat, if it would I can change the color once for all the series but each date is standalone ....

Hi Tzipi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for the great idea/suggestion.

Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple all allow custom colors for a calendar feed, but individual events within a feed all inherit the same color. As far as I know, there is no way for different events within the same calendar feed to have different colors.

The only way to have different colors in Google Calendar is to create multiple personal anniversary calendars on Hebcal. For example, you could create a first calendar that contains Hebrew birthdays only, a 2nd separate calendar with only Yahrzeits, and a 3rd for Hebrew anniversaries. Then you'd subscribe to those 3 Hebcal calendars in Google Calendar as 3 separate feeds. Once the feeds are set up in Google, then you can have different colors.

Here's an example:

Image 289

It's a bit tedious to set up separate calendars, but once you do so, you will get perpetual updates. And perpetual updates also means you can make changes to the Hebcal side and they will automatically be reflected on the Google side.


For example, if you set up a Hebcal yahrzeit calendar with just 3 names and then later add a 4th name, you will automatically see the additional 4th person's yahrzeits show up in Google Calendar, typically 1-2 days after you make the changes on the Hebcal side.
