Hebrew events in hebrew alphabet

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

I'm trying to get the 'parskhat hashavua' 'Chagim' in Hebrew alphabet, just as the hebrew date is also here in Hebrew alphabet in 'Make' is it possible?

Hi, thanks for using the Hebcal Date Converter JSON API. To get events translated in other languages, you can specify lg=LANGUAGE in the URL, for example:

Hebrew

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?gd=9&gm=11&gy=2023&g2h=1&cfg=json&lg=he

Spanish

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?gd=9&gm=11&gy=2023&g2h=1&cfg=json&lg=es

Thanks for contacting Hebcal! The warnings in the screenshot you attached seem to be for a website called yahrzeitmemorial.net which is not affiliated with Hebcal.com. We regret that we cannot help with that website. Please contact the owner of yahrzeitmemorial.net to ask them to address the cross site scripting bug.

iOS widget for watchOS 10 Smart Stack please

suzskyer 2 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago 1

It would be great to have a HebCal widget that we can add to a watchOS 10 Smart Stack for Apple Watch. This would enable Apple Watch users choosing not to use the HebCal complication (for example, if they are using the Snoopy face) to still see the HebCal info. Thanks for considering!

And another way to calculate it is to convert to Gregorian and then use a date difference website:

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?hd=19&hm=Tamuz&hy=5744&h2g=1

19th of Tamuz, 5744 = Thu, 19 July 1984

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?hd=24&hm=Tishrei&hy=5784&h2g=1

24th of Tishrei, 5784 = Mon, 9 October 2023

Then visit the Days Calculator: Days Between Two Dates calculator

From and including: Thursday, July 19, 1984
To and including: Monday, October 9, 2023
https://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?m1=10&d1=09&y1=2023&m2=07&d2=19&y2=1984&ti=on


Result: 14,327 days
It is 14,327 days from the start date to the end date, end date included.

Or 39 years, 2 months, 21 days including the end date.

Or 470 months, 21 days including the end date.

Please reinstate the readings lists for Chol Hamoed dates of yom tovim AND list of readings for weekday minyanim (for non yom tovs) for Diaspora users.

JNNLT 2 years ago updated 2 years ago 6

Hi - I use Hebcal when I daven and it has been essential to accessing the correct readings during minyan and during chol hamoed, such as for Sukkot. The page used to pull up the readings list for each date (ie, Monday, Thursday and Shabbat readings and similarly for Chol Hamoed for Sukkot, Pesach, etc.) Not sure why this was stopped, but it is an essential and unique feature that many of us rely on. Could you please put it back so that the date pulls up a listing of the readings for that date, not just the readings for the upcoming Shabbat? And if the reading would be different for Diaspora than for Israel that week, could you please post the diaspora readings list as well like you used to include? Thank you and Moadim L'simcha.

time given for onset of yarzeit is considerably later than shabbos of two nights ago - kindly explain

Answer
Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago

Thank you for using the Hebcal Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar. Moadim L'Simcha! We wish you a very happy Sukkot.

Yahrzeit always begins at sundown and continues until sundown on the day of observance. It is customary to light a memorial candle at sundown as the Yahrzeit begins.

If a Yahrzeit begins on Friday night, it's customary to light the yahrzeit candle before Shabbat begins. If a Yahrzeit begins on Saturday night, it is customary to light the yahrzeit candle after Havdalah.


If you subscribe to our email Yahrzeit reminders, you will receive a message one week before the anniversary. This message does not specify what time to light a yahrzeit candle. It does also include an optional calendar reminder, typically set for 16:30 local time on weekdays and 20:00 local time on Saturday night.

To avoid any possibility that someone might light a yahrzeit candle after Shabbat begins, we will make a change to our calendar reminders to have them start earlier (14:30 local time) for any yahrzeit occurring on a Friday.

nekudot on the date conversion page

bellzw 2 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago 1

When I ask to see the date with nekudot, I see

י״ג בְּתִשְׁרֵי תשפ״ד

when I ask for today (13 Tishri 5784).  However, if I change nothing but turn off nekudot, I get

י״ג תשרי תשפ״ד

Note that the bet before the year's abbreviation has disappeared.  Why should the form of the date change? I apologize in advance for my ignorance.
