How to switch white text on black background to black text on white background?
Hebcal used to be black text on white background. But sometime ago the colors flipped. Now it's white text on black background. It's hard for me to read text on a black background. Is there a way to modify that? I tried to use the HELP button, but it does not work.

Hi, thanks for using the Hebcal Torah reading pages.
The repetition of verses in the triennial leyning is intentional. Our publication matches that of the Rabbi Miles Cohen luach. Here is a screenshot

Zapier webhook returning 403 error
Hi, I've been using Zapier for many years to convert dates by sending a PUT request via the Webhooks by Zapier app and this has worked very well.
Last week this stopped working ("The app returned "Forbidden" (HTTP Status Code: 403)")
Has something changed here that might cause the request to be rejected? e.g. Permissions or authentication...?
Hi, thanks for using the Hebcal APIs. We're sorry for the inconvenience that your Zapier app broke recently. Yes, we recently made a change to restrict the Hebcal APIs to GET, HEAD, and POST. We no longer allow PUT requests.
Please update your app to use GET or POST and it should begin working correctly again.

Yahrzeit Reminders in Google Calendar not taking Israel time zone into account
Hi, I just created a Yahrzeit reminder and downloaded it to Google Calendar. I live in Israel. The "all day" calendar item is fine, but the "reminder" calendar item to remind me to light a candle the night before and say kaddish is at 2:30am Israel time (7:30pm NY time)... so it's 7 hours too late to be useful. It's not taking time zone into account (even though I did actually check the "Israel Yizkor schedule" checkbox).
