Using Hebcal for a physical yahrzeit Board
Hello,
In our Synagogue in Amsterdam RAS sjoel - RAS Sjoel we just installed a wooden Yharzeit board. In the small indivual name boards there is a lamp. The idea is that the lamp is switched on 2-3 days before the date and 2-3 after the date switched off. At present we are doing this manually, but we would like to do this automatically.
In the back of the board we can install a kind of relay wich guides the lamps to switch on the gregorian date using the type of tables that are used by Hebcal/
Questions:
- Anybody having experience with this kind of solution ?
- Does anybody know and /or heard of a similar solution
- Is it possible to use the API.
Any advise and help is very welcome.
Thanks
calendar running on Arduino ?
hi.. i'm trying to re-create this item which appears to be have been discontinued jewish desk clock
i was thinking about using an arduino nano with LCD that has hebrew fonts, and an RTC component
i was wondering if i could use your c library, but i'm not sure that's possible.
Hi, thanks for contacting us.
There is a C command-line interface (not a library). It is not designed to be used in a library context (global variables, places where the code calls die() or exit()) but you are welcome to take a look.
To find the older C code, go back in the GitHub repository to the latest 4.x release
In Hebcal, when cursor focus is in an input field, like the year, arrow key should only change position with field, not change the date.
In Hebcal, if the cursor focus is in an input field, like the year, and I hit the arrow key to move the cursor within the field, it change the whole date instead. I.e. forward or back a date. This is not normal web interface behavior. Can you fix this? Thanks!
Thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for the feedback! We disabled the ArrowLeft/ArrowRight navigation on the Hebrew Date Converter as we agree it doesn't work well on a web page that has interactive forms.
Get a list of all potential returned values of Leyning reading names
Hi,
I am using the Leyning API, then comparing the returned hebrer parasha name to a list I have in Excel.
Is there a way to get all potential returned name?
For example: לך-לך, סוכות א׳
Thanks
Thanks for using the Hebcal Leyning API!
We don't have a centralized list of all of the parsha and holiday names, it's scattered in a few different places.
The English & Hebrew names of the regular parshiyot are included here in this JSON file:
https://github.com/hebcal/hebcal-leyning/blob/main/src/aliyot.json
Note that for regular parashat haShavua, we return a numerical field called parshaNum which can be used as a mapping key which may be more convenient than using the name field. Bereshit = 1, Noach = 2, etc.
The names used for holiday readings in English transliteration (such as Sukkot I) are included here:
https://github.com/hebcal/hebcal-leyning/blob/main/src/holiday-readings.json
And if you want Hebrew equivalents of the holiday names (such as סוּכּוֹת א׳), you will find them here:
https://github.com/hebcal/hebcal-es6/blob/main/po/he.po
Please let us know if this helps, and good luck with the API!
Can't reinstall Hebcal
I had Hebcal installed on my Apple Watch 4 and it worked great. I upgraded to the Ultra. Hebcal isn't listed as an app in the Ultra or in the Watch App. If I go to the Watch Store it shows as purchased but I can't download it again. Purchased is grayed out and there is no download option. How do I get it back?
Thanks for your reply. We can see from the screen shot that you're using the App Store on an iPhone, not the App Store on the Watch itself.
Because our app is Apple Watch Only and doesn't have an iPhone companion app, trying to install a 2nd time via the iPhone app store won't work. (Bad user experience on Apple's part to show you a greyed-out Purchased button, but it's a bit understandable because Watch-only apps are relatively new. I'm hoping Apple will probably eventually fix this.)
The recommended workaround is to install the Hebcal app from the App Store on the watch itself.
Press the Digital Crown to see the Home screen, then tap the App Store.
Then tap the Search box at the top, type Hebcal, and tap the Search button on the top right.
Then follow the instructions we posted earlier.
i have an ongoing yohortzeit calendar and the english dates seem to be wrong. the don't match uo with the hebrew dates. for instance the 9th of kislev is December 3rd, 2021 it is showing as November 14th 2021

Please add previous/next navigation buttons
When the page at url https://www.hebcal.com/converter is showing, it would be nifty to have a Button that will allow the user to see a day before/after the found date.
