Remove hebcal calendar events from outlook.com

ClaudeT 8 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 5 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?

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:

What Chumash do you use

Paul Myers 6 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 5 months ago 2

I'm in Australia and my query which relates to my own bar-mitzvah on 24 Aug 1968 (Re'eh) requires that I refer to the correct Chumash.  The synagogue I did my bar-mitzvah at (North Shore in Sydney Australia) uses the "Stone Edition ArtScroll Chumash.  I am also advised that the Haftarah can be different each year for the same Parashat, so how can I find out which one mine was?

Shimshon’s answer is spot on. The Hebcal link for Parashat Re’eh on August 24, 1968 (https://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/reeh-19680824) has exactly what you need.


To clarify one point that sometimes causes confusion: the choice of Chumash (e.g., ArtScroll Stone Edition vs. others) can affect how the aliyah divisions are marked in certain parshiyot, but it would not affect the haftarah reading. And in the case of Re’eh specifically, this isn’t even an issue — the aliyah breaks are the same across standard Orthodox chumashim.


So you’re all set with that link. Mazal tov on revisiting your bar mitzvah parsha!

Kiddush Levana

It would be great if there was an option to show the latest time to say Kiddush Levana as a calendar event

Tal 10 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 10 months ago 2

Hi, I want to know for each shabbat in the year 0f 2026 the times of "knisat shabbat" and "yetziat shabbat" - enter and exit of the shabbat times and not the candle lights or havdalah. I dont see it in the api as an option.

Something I built using your API

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

I thought you might like to see a project that I built using your API.

I had a user request to notify him of when the New Moon would fall, but on the Hebrew calendar.  I already had an app for working out the Moon phase.  I used your API to convert that information and display for this month, and next month.

https://dpoisn.com/gadgets/moonclock/moonpos/nextPhase.php

Works very well.

Thank you for making the API available.  I would never have been able to do this without that.
