Incorrect Reading for November 6 (Toldot)
In fullkriyah-5782.csv the following is shown for the Haftorah of 06-Nov-2021 Parashat Toldot
|
06-Nov-2021 |
Toldot |
maf |
Genesis 28:7 - 28:9 |
|
06-Nov-2021 |
Toldot |
Haftara |
Malachi 1:1 - 2:7 |
However, given that Rosh Chodesh Kislev begins at sundown on 05-Nov-2021, the proper reading for the special Rosh Chodesh Haftorah should be: Maftir: Numbers 28:9–15
Please see more here: Rosh Chodesh
Similary, In fullkriyah-5782.csv the following is shown for the Haftorah of 05-Mar-2022 Parashat Noach:
|
05-Mar-2022 |
Pekudei |
Haftara |
I Kings 7:51 - 8:21 |
|
05-Mar-2022 |
Pekudei |
Haftara for Sephardim |
I Kings 7:40 - 7:50 |
However, given that Rosh Chodesh Adar begins at sundown on 04-Mar-2022, the proper reading for the special Rosh Chodesh Haftorah should be: Maftir: Numbers 28:9–15
Further, whenever a Shabbat falls on Rosh Chodesh, the parasha reading title should be: "Rosh Chodesh Toldot" as opposed to just being "Toldot" - this allows the user to understand that this is a Rosh Chodesh Shabbat instead of being an ordinary Shabbat.
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.
The Haftara for Toldot on 06-Nov-2021 and on 05-Mar-2022 Parashat Pekudei are correct as published.
Neither of those Shabbatot fall on Rosh Chodesh. Please check your dates carefully before posting bug reports.
Rosh Chodesh Kislev for Hebrew Year 5782 begins at sundown on Thursday, 4 November 2021 and ends at nightfall on Friday, 5 November 2021.
Rosh Chodesh Adar II for Hebrew Year 5782 begins at sundown on Wednesday, 2 March 2022 and ends at nightfall on Friday, 4 March 2022.
Rosh Chodesh readings are missing from CSV
The Rosh Chodesh Readings are missing from the CSV files.
Further, the weekday readings are incorrect. I showed up at Shul today prepared to read Parashat Noach. But when I got to Shul I realized that it was Rosh Chodesh and I should have prepared the special Rosh Chodesh reading instead. Bummer!!!!
Please be more careful with the information given on this website. Wrong information screws up the service.
Please create ONE AND ONLY ONE CSV file which has EVERY SINGLE TORAH AND HAFTORAH reading ever read in synagogue - ordered chronologically. Having multiple CSV file for Shabat, Mondays and Thursday mornings, Shabbat afternoon, festivals, Rosh Chodesh - you can't possibly have a separate CSV for each of these - this is simply a recipe for confusion, error, and disaster. You end up with conflicting Torah readings for the same dates in different files.
This "ONE AND ONLY ONE" CSV file should include:
* Shabbat Readings
* Rosh Chodesh Readings
* Shabbat Afternoon reading
* Monday morning Reading
* Thursday morning Reading
* Festival Readings
* When Rosh Chodesh falls on Monday, Thursday, or Shabbat afternoon - the regular Rosh Chodesh reading overrides the regular weekly Torah reading.
* When Rosh Chodesh falls on Shabbat morning - the Maftir of that Shabbat morning service equals to Numbers 28:9–15.
* When Rosh Chodesh falls on regular Shabbat - the morning Haftorah is replaced by a special Rosh Chodesh Haftorah: 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.[36]
* Does anyone know what is read when Rosh Chodesh falls on a festival? How does Rosh Chodesh alter the normal Torah/Afteroah reading of a Yom Tov?
See source here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Tov_Torah_readings#:~:text=When%20Rosh%20Chodesh%20falls%20on,is%20read%20as%20the%20Maftir.
Rosh Chodesh[edit]
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)[34]
Reading 1: Numbers 28:1–3
Reading 2: Numbers 28:3–5 (the third verse is re-read)
Reading 3: Numbers 28:6–10
Reading 4: Numbers 28:11–15
Rosh Chodesh (Shabbat)[35]
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.[36]
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for finding a bug in our brand-new weekday CSV files. Please accept our sincere apologies that you prepared the wrong Torah reading.
We have added Rosh Chodesh to our regular fullkriyah CSV files, which are geared towards Shabbat and holidays.
We have also removed Rosh Chodesh days from our weekday CSV files. We do not plan to add Shabbat mincha dates to this file as it could lead to confusion. Regular Torah readers on Shabbat afternoons are expected to be extremely knowledgeable about which parsha is read, and they will know how to look ahead to the upcoming Shabbat for the parsha.
We plan to continue to keep the fullkriyah and weekday CSV files separate, as they serve different audiences. As designed, they should contain mutually exclusive events.
import hebcal calendar for 2023 and beyound
Hi, I am trying to download the hebcal calendar for 2023 and beyond but I am unable to do so.
Can you please let me know how to do this? I followed your instruction but it only goes till December 2022.
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.
Calendars exported from Hebcal to Google Calendar or other services that support iCalendar subscription feeds are typically “perpetual”. That is, they contain events for the current year (Gregorian or Hebrew) plus some number of years into the future. Our calendars typically have 5 years of events (current year plus 4 years into the future).
Size limitations imposed by Google and other calendar clients require that we limit the number of events per feed. The total number of years is now reduced to 4 years if you check some options that include many events (“Candle lighting times”, “Days of the Omer” or “Show Hebrew date for dates with some event”) or 2 years if you check options that include one event every day of the year (“Daf Yomi” or “Show Hebrew date every day of the year”).
Note that if you’d like to include the Hebrew date for every day of the year, you can subscribe to that calendar via a separate calendar feed at our Jewish Holiday downloads page. Look for Hebrew calendar dates (English) or Hebrew calendar dates (Hebrew).
An added advantage of this approach is that you can choose separate colors in Google Calendar or iOS/iCloud calendar for the daily calendar event feed.
All that said, if you'd like to download future events to Google Calendar or another program that supports iCalendar (.ics) files such as macOS Calendar or Outlook, follow these alternative download (not subscribe) instructions:
https://www.hebcal.com/home/59/google-calendar-alternative-instructions
Please note that these instructions are recommended only for advanced users. If you don't take great care to create a separate calendar and import Hebcal events into that new, separate calendar, you may unintentionally add hundreds of events to your personal calendar.

Calendar based on Hebrew years/months?
Hi,
Is it possible with HebCal to get a calendar based on the Hebrew months and not the gregorian months? Instead of September and Tishri inside, Tishri and September/october inside for example. I tried all types of settings but it doesn't appear to exist...
Thanks!
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for your question. You are correct, 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) we are a bit oriented towards the Gregorian calendar as the primary view.
Our colleagues at Judaism 101 maintain a 3-month calendar in the format you describe:
Can the link to the Aliyot text (Sefaria or tikkun.io) display *only* the verses for that aliyot reading?
While it is great to have the links from HebCal directly to the chapter:verse where the aliyot begin, it would be even more amazing if it displayed ONLY the text for that specific aliyot. This would be extremely helpful for our lay readers to be able to download/print just the text they need for their reading.
Torah readings for Monday's and Thursday's?
I am posting the same question that was posted by another user four years ago:
https://hebcal.userecho.com/en/communities/1/topics/229-torah-readings-on-mondays-and-thursdays
Where can I find the Torah reading Aliyah spans for Monday's and Thursday's? Currently, I am following the aliyah's as they are shown in the back of the ArtScroll siddur. I have noticed that the first three aliyah's on Monday/Thursday rarely coincide with the first three aliyah's that are recited on the following Shabbat. So they MUST be defined explicitly.
So where can I find the first three aliyah spans for Monday's and Thursday's as they are laid out in the Artscroll Sidur?
Thanks!
Hi, we have added weekday Torah readings to our parsha pages:
Mo'adim L'Simcha!
Alexa Hebcal Havdalah
When I ask for candle lighting times, it only gives Shabbos start. It doesn't give Havdalah time. I realize it's not on the list, but if it could be added, please. (while I'm at it, if I ask candle lighting time erev Yom Tov, it also assumes Shabbos, even though she knows to say Chag Sameach!)
Confused about dates on calendar
I have downloaded my father's Yahrzeit dates on the Hebcal calendar for many years.. My father passed on the 8th of kislev. in 1999. In 2019 it listed the Yahrzeit date of Sat, November 13, 2021 as the correct date.. I just checked on a more recent Hebcal Jewish calendar and his Yahrzeit date is now listed as Friday, November 12, 2021. Can you help explain this to me? I am very confused.
Thanks so much!
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and we're sorry to hear about the confusion on yahrzeit dates.
Do you know if your father passed away before or after sunset?
If your father passed away on Wed, 17 November 1999 before sunset, then yes, the date of death is 8th of Kislev, 5760
If your father passed away on Wed, 17 November 1999 after sunset, then the date of death is actually 9th of Kislev, 5760
When using the Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar at https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit please be careful to select before sunset or after sunset.
