Chanukah
I downloaded Hebcal for iPhone. For some reason, Chanukah does not appear. In past years, each day of Chanukah and how many candles to light was listed. I looked ahead to 2022 and see that Chanukah is not listed there either.
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal's Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar!
If you visit https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit in the same web browser where you earlier created a calendar, you will now see a page that looks like this:
If you click one of the existing personal calendar links, you can share the URL with someone else.
Please note that sharing the calendar shares both view and edit permissions. They will be able to make changes, including adding new names or deleting existing names. Only share the URL with someone that you trust.
Please add Sof Zman Tefila and Shema according to the Magen Avraham
We've recently completed this feature request.
https://www.hebcal.com/home/1663/zmanim-halachic-times-api
In addition to previous output there are now two new outputs
sofZmanShmaMGA – Latest Shema (MGA)
Sunrise plus 3 halachic hours, according to Magen Avraham
sofZmanTfillaMGA – Latest Shacharit (MGA)
Sunrise plus 4 halachic hours, according to Magen Avraham
The source code that generates the new times is here:

And if you'd like to see an example of the output:

WIX
How to add Hebcal features into a WIX website. I only see WordPress options. Afterall WIX is based in Tel Aviv Ir HaKodesh ;-) Please help
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. Yes, you can embed code on a Wix site using the "Wix Editor: Embedding a Site or a Widget" instructions:

To display a dynamic calendar grid, we'd recommend using fullcalendar.io + hebcal. There are some instructions here to get you started:
To display Shabbat times, you can use the JavaScript generated by this tool:

Shabbat shalom!
I have my app in Ios and I will love to includ Hebcal to it, How I can do that??
I have an app for Jewish blessings and I will like to include some function that Hebcal provide, like sabbath candles and date conversion. I already have a library for the android version, but I am looking for Ios. May be possible to use Hebcal and how can be done??
Hi, thanks for writing to us!
If you're building an iOS app, you may be able to use the Hebcal Swift implementation. This offers holidays and date conversion but not yet candle-lighting times and doesn't require internet because it's built as a native Swift library

From an iOS app you are also free to use Hebcal web services for things like candle-lighting times. You'll find a list of all of our web service APIs here:
Biblical year not appearing
I used to go on the calendar, and i'd go to the settings.
I removed Rosh Chodesh and Minor Holidays (no problem)
I changed to the Gregorian Year (no problem)
Then I enabled the "Show Hebrew date every day of the year" button. SO FAR SO GOOD!
So I click Create Calendar... and It shows that it is - for example - 21st of Cheshvan... and that's the problem. The hebrew year isn't showing at all.
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!
We recently modified the behavior of the "Show Hebrew date every day of the year" and "Show Hebrew date for dates with some event" checkboxes on the Custom Calendar page to display the Hebrew year only for the 1st of each month.
This change keeps the text on each calendar day as brief as possible, but still displays the Hebrew year once each month.
So, for example, this week you will see the following:
Hi, thanks for finding this bug! We have fixed the issue and Erev Purim is now listed as minor in the JSON output.

reinstall Hebcal - how it’s displayed on my iPhone
I had to reinstall Hebcal and are having difficulty in how it’s displayed on my iPhone calendar. I would like the Hebrew month and date shown in small numbers below the English one
Hi, if you'd like to use the iPhone's built in Hebrew calendar, you can follow these instructions:
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap on Calendars.
- Tap on Alternate Calendars.
- Tap on Hebrew.
- Your Calendar app should now reflect those changes.
If you'd like to use our calendar feeds to display the Hebrew date (for example to display י״ד חֶשְׁוָן instead of 14 Cheshvan) then you can visit https://www.hebcal.com/ical/ and subscribe to the Hebrew calendar dates (Hebrew) feed.
