ios subscription places all events on the date calendar was created
Today I created a calendar for MIL in a new device, iOS. Instead of the dates showing on the day of, it created one calendar entry for today with the dates on the notes…
Smart hone customizability based on shabat/Yom tov times
It would be really cool if I could have the start or end of a holiday or shabat trigger some automation...
such as, having smart plugs turn on or off, maybe shutting off the microphone on alexa, a ring or notification sound before or after the event (such as an 18 minute warning for the men).
alternatively, if there is some hebcal app that can interface with IFTTT, zapper, homeassistant , or tasker I could certainly use that as a base and build the rest up myself.
overall your site is super useful and these features might be hard to implement hut will be much appreciated!
Downloading custom Jewish calendar for Eretz Israel without modern secular special days
Shalom,
I try to download custom CSV calendar for Eretz Israel, only major Jewish holidays. But some modern secular special days still showing up.
Thank you and Pitkah Tava.
Thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks the bug report. We were able to reproduce the error you noticed and have fixed the issue. Please try reloading the page and re-downloading the CSV calendar and the modern holidays should be properly excluded.

REST API - Yom Kippur Bug?
The Yom Kippur data seems to formatted differently than other Yomim Tovim.
Instead of separate entries for "category: holiday" and "category: havdalah", it all show under the same key:

Reminders not showing up
I have an iPhone 13 and I had set up my Yahrzeit calendar and the reminders were all there.
i can no longer see the reminders.
move tried to delete the calendar.
I’ve unsubscribed and re subscribed.
I’ve tried to download and add the calendar with a subscription.
it doesn’t seem to matter what I do, I can’t get the reminders back on my calendar.
i have another one that shows up fine, I tried to duplicate all the settings, but nothing seems to add it back in.
How to retreive shabbat time only and not roch hachana information in the API for shabbat
How to retreive shabbat time only and not roch hachana information in the API for shabbat
The Shabbat API returns multiple events that occur during the coming week, including of course candle-lighting and Havdalah and the weekly Torah portion. It also may include events like Rosh Chodesh.
If you'd like to ignore Rosh Hashana or other holiday-related events, our general recommendation is for your application to filter the items array in the returned response, paying careful attention to items that meet your application's criteria. For example, you may be interested only in those items that have a category that matches candles, parashat, or havdalah.
Yom haAtzmaut, Yom haShoah, Yom haZikaron
I was looking for these days in order to plan meetings of a Jewish organization into the future and they were not there. Can these get added
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.
If you'd like to include Modern holidays such as Yom haAtzmaut, Yom haShoah, Yom haZikaron on the calendar, please check the box "Modern holidays" when generating your calendar

shabbat API info by start= and end= in zmanim api not exist
hello.
i want to fetch few shabbat times in advance with start= and end=, like in the weekly times.
but its not working.
i can only receive info for the next shabbat in calendar
i am missing something ?
or its just doesn't exist...?
Hi, thanks for your question.
This behavior is by design. The Shabbat API always displays the current week's information, including both Friday and Saturday, even if Friday has already passed. No, there is no way to change this behavior by specifying different start/end parameters.
If you want control over date ranges please instead use our Jewish calendar API and specify start and end parameters. The returned JSON is nearly identical to the Shabbat API so it should be easy to transition to this supported API.
