Yahrzeit on 30 Adar I

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

For a yahrzeit that occurs on 30 Adar I 5760, Hebcal produces a table showing the yahrzeit occurring on 1 Nisan in non-leap years.  Yet the discussion at https://www.hebcal.com/home/54/anniversaries-adar-cheshvan-kislev seems to say that it should be on the last day of Shevat (30 Shevat) in non-leap years. I've attached a screen shot of what I see.

Have I misunderstood something?  BTW, Chabad shows me an anniversary calendar with the yahrzeit on 30 Shevat in non-leap years.

Hi, thanks for contacting Hebcal.

To calculate yahrzeit dates, please use our Yahrzeit + Anniversary Calendar page. You will note that if you enter 11-March-2005 you will get the Ashkenazic practice for 30 Adar I.

Thank you for posting a screenshot from our simple Hebcal Hebrew Date converter. The Hebrew Date Converter page does not follow the special rules for a yahrzeit.

We’re pleased to announce support for Comma Separated Values (CSV) file import in the Hebcal Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar. You can now create a personal list of Yahrzeit (memorial) and Yizkor dates, Hebrew Birthdays and Anniversaries for 20+ years by importing a CSV file.

Some Parshiyot missing

Beisee 2 years ago updated 2 years ago 4

Hi

I'm enjoying your moduls very much!! Thank you!!!

On this modul https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal?parshat&v=1&cfg=json&s=on&leyning=off&date={{now}}&lg=a

I noticed now that the Parshas Hashavua of this week, Parshas Vayigash (פרשת ויגש), Vaychi (פרשת ויחי) & (פרשת וזאת הברכה) don't apear. It gives 49 Parshiyot instead of 52

Please check

Thank you!

thanks for your message. You are correct that Parashat Vayechi is not read during the Gregorian year 2024. This is not a bug. Parashat Vayechi is read once every Hebrew year but is not guaranteed to be read during every Gregorian year.

Note the dates that the parsha is read below, and you will see that although it is read once every Hebrew year, it is sometimes read twice in the same Gregorian year and not at all in the following Gregorian year.

Parashat Vezot Habracha is not read on Shabbat. Instead it is read during Simchat Torah.

Minutes as Degrees

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

The calendar is great.

Have any updates been made to put zmanim in according to minutes as degrees? The time is fine for getting a maximum but would be inaccurate for the shorter Halachic Hours.

Answer
Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago

Thanks for using Hebcal!

We offer several options for developers to customize zmanim by degrees or minutes. Currently both Havdalah and fast end times can be configured as degrees (defaulting to 8.5 and 7.083 respectively). These options are documented in the @hebcal/core README.

For regular users, unfortunately, we do not yet offer the ability to specify degrees on the Hebcal.com website. There's a toggle between 8.5 degrees for Havdalah (default) or user-specified minutes past sundown. The current website design is limited in this simplicity, which seems to work for the majority of users. At some point we'd like to add more configuration options to the website.

If you are a website user, what kind of settings would you like access to? Do you have an example application you've seen that could help to demonstrate the kind of user interface for setting these options that you could share a screenshot of?

Sorry to hear about your duplicate calendar events. It sounds like you may have subscribed to multiple Hebcal calendars in Google Calendar.

You can follow these instructions to unsubscribe/delete the extra calendars from your Google account

Hebcal spontaneous close upon opening

Please note, there is a confusingly similar named Android app called HebCal & Widget available on the Google Play store. This app is not affiliated with Hebcal.com in any way. It is developed by a completely separate organization called BotenSoft. The Hebcal name isn't trademarked so we can't stop them from using it.

Although they use the same name, we have no relationship with BotenSoft and cannot offer support for their app.

    Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

    If you would like the dates to be right-to-left, please visit https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal and for the Event titles Language selector, choose "Hebrew" or "Hebrew (no nikud)" as follows:

    All other language options will render the calendar left-to-right.
