New Calendar Format
Hi Guys -- I love HEBCAL and have been using it for years. I HATE the new pretty format for holidays. I just want to see a chart. https://www.hebcal.com/holidays/2023 I want to see them in chronological order and not with pictures and not in two sections (Major and Minor) Just chronological order. Also, the Jesus Loves Israel advert was not my favorite and I guess no harm done. I though you might want to be aware of that, though.
Uing URL in JSON fetch
The URL posted for Hebrew to Gregorian (item 3 on the page) is shown as the HREF of an A tag in HTML. When clicked, a new page opens with the JSON data of the Converter including Gregorian date and other info. I am trying to use that same URL in a JavaScript FETCH and when I execute, it does not look like that the correct data is being returned, but rather a default perhaps that is returning the current date. I am using ASYNC/AWAIT on the retrieval and the script has the code fetch (url) where url is the string that works in the HREF.
Add Daf A Week Calendar
Hebcal is so useful - thank you! It's nice that you've incorporated global learning programs into your calendar. Daf A Week is another good one that you should consider including just as Sefaria and others have done. If you email me, I can send you the full weekly schedule through 2057. Thanks

Edit Calendar
Is it at all possible to simply edit a calendar without having to delete my current one? Thanks!
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!
Unfortunately, once you subscribe to a holiday calendar feed, it is not possible to make changes to your settings. You will indeed need to unsubscribe and then resubscribe to get an updated holiday calendar.
For personal Yahrzeit calendars, see this article about making changes:

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for your question. We don't currently offer a way to view/print a calendar that's primarily based on the Hebrew months. Because of our focus on integrating with other calendar apps (Apple, Google, Outlook, etc), Hebcal uses the Gregorian calendar as the primary view.
Our colleagues at Judaism 101 maintain a 3-month calendar in the format you describe:
Yom Teruah off by a week
Yom Teruah is the first new moon after Autumnal Equinox. That puts it this year more like Gregorian September 23rd. Secular regularly gets Rosh Hashanah wrong because everyone likes the days to be nice and tidy for long weekends and such, but to keep it biblical, Feast of Trumpets is off.
Thanks for your message.
Rosh Hashanah is always observed on the first two days of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. Rosh Hashana for Hebrew Year 5784 begins at sundown on Friday, 15 September 2023 and ends at nightfall on Sunday, 17 September 2023.
The rules governing how the calendar works were developed during the rabbinic period and were fully codified by Maimonides in the Mishneh Torah in the 12th century. It would be a mistake to look only at the Bible and ignore the rabbinic sources or Rambam.
