Hi, thanks for contacting Hebcal.

We do not offer an iPhone app for Hebcal just yet. We do offer two options that could be useful to you:

1. Jewish holiday downloads for iPhone

2. Hebcal app for Apple Watch

"isHoliday" property

Orh1989 2 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago 4

Hi
Could you extend the json response for the
https://www.hebcal.com/converter?cfg=json&date=2024-05-14&g2h=1&strict=1
so it will contains a property says "isHoliday" or something like that?
I believe if you know to point that is Yom HaAtzma’ut, you will know to mention true or false for "isHoliday".
Just to clarify, 29 Elul (for example) is also consider as holiday, since it's half day work (non-business day).

thanks

for details about holidays, we recommend you instead use the Jewish Calendar API


https://www.hebcal.com/home/195/jewish-calendar-rest-api


you can control the event types by specifying exactly which holidays you want to see, and when parsing the result you can use the category and subcat fields to understand what types of holiday events the API returns

Different haftarot between hebcal and the Hertz Chumash 2nd edition (1960) for Acharei Mot and Kedoshim

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

Acharei Mot and Kedoshim are the readings for 5/4/2024 and 5/11/2024.  Hebcal and Hertz, however, show different haftaroth for the full kriyoth for Ashkenazim:

Hebcal
Hertz
Acharei Mot, Ashkenazim
Amos 9:7-15
Ezekiel 22:1-19
Kedoshim, Ashkenazim
Ezekiel 22:1-19
Amos 9:7-15

Can someone shed light on this discrepancy?

Multiple yahrzeit reminders

B Frieslander 2 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago 2

I always receive multiple reminders for each yarhzeit. Today for example I received 4 email reminders for a yahrzeit tomorrow night Friday. Just the one email reminder is fine. What do I have to do?

Date for havdalah moti pesach /24 WRONG

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

your calendar  for 2024 for North American cities has April 29//24 as the date for havdalah, end of pesach. That is wrong. It ends April 30.

Erev Chag vs Chol Hamoed

Gershon G 2 years ago updated 2 years 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.

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

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