Remove hebcal calendar events from outlook.com

ClaudeT 6 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 1

I have added Hebcal 2018-19 to Outlook.com by downloading it directly. I have not created an additional calendar, so everything is in Outlook.com Unfortunately, it seems that have made that twice and my default Outlook.com Calendar has all duplicate events. How can I restore my Outlook.com calendar?

Answer

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and we're sorry to hear about those duplicate events.

We don't know of an easy way to bulk-delete many events directly from Outlook.com, but if you have Outlook for Mac or Outlook for Windows attached to your Outlook.com account, you may be able to follow instructions like this to easily remove duplicates:

Fix for HebCal on Android phone not always showing (Google Calendar)

Paul G 2 months ago updated 2 months ago 2

Once installed/added to Google Calendar (via Desktop), HebCal doesn't already appear to display on android mobile phones. It is (sort of) there, however it's not entirely intuitive.

On the Android Google Calendar app you need to go into Menu (the hamburger bar in the top left hand corner), Settings, if you have lots of calendars you need to click on "Show More", click on HebCal and then tick/slide the Sync button.

My top tip/request would be that the above instructions are also added to the "Download" screen on the HebCal website, as per the screenshot below.

I appreciate very much receiving this Yahrzeit reminder. Will this be done every year?

arniecohen 9 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 9 months ago 1

Today I received a Yahrzeit reminder for my son who past away on July 23rd 2021. Will you continue to send reminders.

I am 80 years of age and if you do continue to send reminders, can I add my wife's and my daughter's email address.

Thank you, A Cohen

Yes, if you subscribe to annual email reminders, you will continue to receive reminders each year unless you opt-out or unsubscribe.

To add an additional email address to receive annual anniversary reminders, follow these instructions:

Bar/bat mitzvah calculator

Rabbi J Weiner 11 months ago updated by israel wissotzky 9 months ago 3

Dear Hebcal team, I would love to have a function, either on your site or code I could put on our synagogue website, where you simply put in the Gregorian date of birth and it gives you the shabbat after 13 (or 12) years and a day later. Does that already exist? If not, would it be easy to create? (If you do it, please have language functions so that it would display in French!) Thank you so much.

Thanks for the suggestion! We don't currently offer such a feature and it would be a great addition.

Chabad does offer this feature on their website

HEBEVENTS returns diaspora event only

Shlomik 11 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 11 months ago 2

When calling the GoogleSheets HEBEVENTS function with the date of May 27th (2023) the result is "Shavuot II", though in Israel this is a regular "Parashat Naso".

I think we better have another parameter saying whether the client needs Israel or diaspora events.


Thank you so much for this service!!

It is unbelievable how useful and helpful it is, for so many Jews around the world.

Hi, shavua tov. The Hebrew Date Converter Google sheets Add-on was built by an independent organization called YML Solutions.

https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/hebrew_date_converter/70892373699


This plugin uses the Hebcal APIs but otherwise we aren't affiliated with their product. You will need to contact them directly to ask them to make the change to add an optional Israel boolean parameter to their function.

We are truly sorry we can't help further with this issue.
