Slight error on Chukkat , July 9, 2022 reading 6
The 6th reading should be 21:26 - 21: 33 NOT 21:25 - 21:33.
Thank you.
Confirmed that this indeed was an error in the original 1988 CJLS triennial reading document. We've published the corrected reading on the hebcal.com website.
Is third Triennial for Chukat inaccurate? Chamishi and Shishi both have 21:25
It looks like Numbers 21:25 is listed twice in the triennial cycle; is this a mistake? I think so. Please advise.

Have Hebrew Date Appear on Top in Google Calendar (month view)
I've downloaded Hebrew Calendar Dates en and he.
I'm successfully importing names and Yahrtzeit dates in CSV format from ShulCloud.
When I view the calendar, the hebrew dates for each day appear below the yahrtzeit names. I would like the hebrew date to appear at the top of each date
If I add an event time to each name, then the date does appear on top of the box. However the time is appearing in each box which clutters each day.
How can I have the hebrew date always appear on top?
We have a large shul and space on the calendar is important.
Thanks
Neil
Thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for taking the time to post this message.
As I understand your post, you are looking to change the way Google Calendar formats events in the month view. You'd like the Hebcal daily Hebrew Dates to appear at the top of each day in the calendar month grid. Did I understand correctly?
Unfortunately, we do not have any way to influence how the Google Calendar month view works.
You might have better luck with Apple Calendar. In Apple Calendar, you can change the order of the calendars in the sidebar by dragging them up or down in the list. Calendars higher in the sidebar list will print closer to the top of each day in the month, week or day views. Calendars lower in the list will print closer to the bottom of each day.
We hope this helps!
If other readers have other suggestions, we'd love to hear them!
Rosh Chodesh readings are missing
Hi Michael,
It is my understanding that the Rosh Chodesh Tammuz Torah reading will be held on Wednesday 06/29/22 and Thursday 06/30/22.
However, since the Rosh Chodesh readings were removed from the weekday csv's - I don't see any reference to them on this website any longer.
Could you kindly prepare another csv that has all of the Rosh Chodesh readings?
A diaspora, Israel, and triennial version would be great.
below is the link to the Rosh Chodesh reading schemes for reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Tov_Torah_readings#Rosh_Chodesh
Rosh Chodesh
When Rosh Chodesh falls on a weekday, Numbers 28:1–15 is read. When Rosh Chodesh falls on Shabbat, Numbers 28:9–15 is read as the Maftir.
The individual readings are as follows:
Rosh Chodesh (weekday)[40]
Reading 1: Numbers 28:1–3
Reading 2: Numbers 28:3–5 (the third verse is re-read)[41]
Reading 3: Numbers 28:6–10
Reading 4: Numbers 28:11–15
Rosh Chodesh (Shabbat)[42]
Readings 1–7: Regular Torah reading
Maftir: Numbers 28:9–15
Haftarah: Isiah 66:1–24
Note: when Rosh Chodesh occurs on a Sunday, the regular Haftarah of the preceding day is replaced with the Machar Hachodesh (literally, "tomorrow is the new month") Haftarah, I Samuel 20:18–42.[43]
I have suggested this before - and I would like to suggest again that all the csv's be consolidated into a single csv for simplicity's sake. Now, if someone only wants to only see Shabbat readings - then you have a filter for Shabbat readings right inside the excel sheet. This makes simple sense to me and it would also lead to a full and comprehensive single document.
hi, thanks for using Hebcal. We implemented Rosh Chodesh Torah readings in our CSV downloads several months ago.
Please see this page
https://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/#download
And note this excerpt:
- The Full Kriyah CSV files contain Torah & Haftara readings for Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh, holidays and fast days.
- The Weekday CSV files contain Torah readings for Mondays & Thursdays (and Shabbat mincha) when those days don't co-occur with one of the events above. In other words, these files are intended to be mutually exclusive with the Full Kriyah Shabbat/holiday files.
If you download the fullkriyah-5782.csv file you will see the following starting at line 671:
29-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 1 Numbers 28:1-28:3 3
29-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 2 Numbers 28:3-28:5 3
29-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 3 Numbers 28:6-28:10 5
29-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 4 Numbers 28:11-28:15 5
30-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 1 Numbers 28:1-28:3 3
30-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 2 Numbers 28:3-28:5 3
30-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 3 Numbers 28:6-28:10 5
30-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 4 Numbers 28:11-28:15 5

no candle lighting
Is there a way to create a calendar without the candle lightning and havdalah times?
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!
If you'd like a calendar of only holidays (and no candle-lighting or havdalah times), you can visit this page and then be sure to delete the name of the city from the "Candle lighting times" input field
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!
Our apologies that we don't yet offer an iPhone or Android app. We're working on an iPhone app that we hope to release before Rosh Hashana 5783. Stay tuned!
Limit on API calls
Hello everyone, I have a question Is there a limit to how many API calls can be made in one minute to the system?
I have an automation process that converts a foreign date to me and it is important for me to know that everything will work and not break due to the load of API calls
Thanks for using the Hebcal APIs!
You may receive a 429 “Too Many Requests” error if your client makes more than 90 requests in a 10-second window.
Many of our APIs support batch queries, and those should be used when possible to avoid hitting our rate limits. We also generate proper HTTP Cache-Control and/or Expires headers so your client can optionally use a caching proxy to avoid actually incurring load on our APIs if you end up fetching the same information multiple times. By design Hebcal APIs are stateless and idempotent.
If for some reason you are running up against the rate limits can you please share your use case with us? If you have a use case we haven't considered we would love to hear about it!
Incorrect Parasha on sundays
I'm making a calendar app that displays zmanim and the parasha of a selected date, I'm using the shabbat times REST API to get the parasha and it works great with the exception of sundays, where I get the parsha of last week.
Take this call for example https://www.hebcal.com/shabbat?cfg=json&m=45&gy=2022&gm=05&gd=01&lg=es&latitude=19.4349023&longitude=-99.2069489
The parasha of that day should be Kedoshim, but the API is giving the parasha of last week Ajarei Mot.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi, thanks for using the Hebcal APIs, and thanks for the bug report.
You aren't doing anything wrong - it looks like you found a bug in our timezone logic!
We believe we have fixed the issue and deployed a change. Please take a look and let us know if it seems to be working correctly now.
