Hebcal Integrated into outlook calendar
I am having a problem with a Hebcal that was downloaded to my outlook. It somehow became integrated into my outlook - which would normally be fine. However, it's in the wrong time zone and is displaying the incorrect time. The only way to fix is to manually go into each event and either delete or change the time zone. the problem is I have multiple years of events. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. Sorry to hear about your difficulty with deleting multiple events.
When hebcal exports to CSV format, it puts the text "Hebcal" or “Jewish Holidays” in the Location or Description field. That is there to make it easy to remove entries from your calendar if you got the wrong settings. For example, if you were using candle-lighting times but entered the wrong zip code, you could follow these instructions to remove all of the incorrect entries:
- Open your Calendar and on the View menu point to Current Viewand click Events
- Click the Location column heading to sort the list of holidays by Location (you should see “Jewish Holidays” in the location field for the holidays that you imported from CSV)
- Click to select the first holiday you want to delete
- Hold down SHIFT and click the last holiday you want to delete
- Press DELETE to remove all the selected holidays from your Calendar
Here are similar instructions for Outlook desktop on Mac

Is there an option to get an info if a day is 'Yom tov sheni shel galuyot' from the API ?
Thx
Correct, these flags are available in the JavaScript API, but currently not available in the REST api.
Shana Tova!

Adding maariv, shacharit, and minchah prayer times?
Any thoughts about adding maariv, shacharit, and minchah prayer times?
Your dates are off in the 2022 calendar Yamim. The dates are right when when I click on the holiday, but not on the initial calendar

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for your feedback.
We recently redesigned the holidays year-on-a-page to be more mobile friendly and to better clarify that holidays start the evening before (except for minor fasts which begin at dawn).

We hope you enjoy the new design!

nekudot/vowels on Hebrew
Is there any way of obtaining the Hebrew calendar without nikud on the Hebrew dates?
Hi, we have recently added an option to create calendars without nikud.
If you are downloading the easy calendars at https://www.hebcal.com/ical/ you will see a new option
And if you are generating a custom calendar you can use the new option under "Event Titles" for Hebrew or Hebrew with nikud.

"torah" field chol hamoed pesach incorrect
In Chol Hamoed Pesach Torah readings, each aliya is correct, but the overall "Torah reading" fields are incorrect. They either omit the 4th aliya, or (for ChM 4) show the entire range from aliya 1 to aliya 4 without separating it to show the chapters skipped.
Thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for the bug report! We have fixed this issue.
For ChM1, it now says: "Torah Portion: Exodus 13:1-16; Numbers 28:19-25" - and similarly it's fixed in other places where the aliyot contain readings from multiple sifrei Torah
Can you add Mevarchim/Molad info into the Shabbat API?
Long time user, first time caller.
Before I start, I want to thank you for all the hard work over the years to make this site and data better and better. It really has made a difference not only for me, but for helping me communicate the calendar, holidays, etc to my colleagues (and family, in some cases).
Shameless flattery out of the way, my question is whether you could, as the subject of this post implies, add the Molad information into the Shabbat API. I know I can loop through the full calendar output, but for my application (pulling the upcoming Shabbat information to auto-build my shul's email) it seems like it would be less overall churn it (the molad) was included in the Shabbat output.
Thank you again.
Thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for the suggestion! We have added Shabbat Mevarchim to the Shabbat API
