Calendar downloads not working (.ics, .csv)
I have been trying to download a Hebcal calendar, both as a csv and as an ics, and both times the download has not been working. It has been perpetually loading and not actually downloading. see pictures
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks so much for the bug report.
The download server is working again correctly now.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for your question!
You can visit the Candle-lighting Times Year at a Glance page and enter your location. Then, at the bottom of the printable page we have added prev/next links with both Hebrew and Gregorian years:
Fast day mincha missing
For minor fast days, Hebcal currently lists the Torah reading which is read both in the morning and the afternoon, but the haftarah (read only in the afternoon) is not included. On Tisha b’Av the afternoon Torah reading is different from the morning reading and there is a haftarah reading (also different from the morning’s haftarah), but Hebcal only shows the morning Torah reading and morning haftarah. (For Yom Kippur mincha, Hebcal does give the Torah reading and haftarah, which are both different from what is read on Yom Kippur morning.) I think it would be better to include a mincha section for each minor fast day, indicating that the Torah reading is the same as in the morning, but there is also a haftarah. For Tisha b’Av the different afternoon Torah reading and haftarah should be included, just like on Yom Kippur.
We've added the mincha Torah reading for Tisha B'Av and also for the minor fast day Mincha.

outlook calendar merging
Outlook calendar... I don't really want two calendars side-by-side, I want them merged.
Is there any way to merge them?
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.
If you want to merge Hebcal events with your calendar you can click the smaller "Download 2022 only" button at the bottom of the dialog box like so:
Thanks for using Hebcal.
Hebcal Torah pages link to World ORT's Navigating the Bible II, a free online resource located at https://bible.ort.org/
Unfortunately, it looks like ORT's website is not working today. This may be a temporary issue.
You might consider trying an alternative, such as https://www.pockettorah.com/ (free) or https://troptrainer.com/ (not free, but very high quality).

Slight error on Chukkat , July 9, 2022 reading 6
The 6th reading should be 21:26 - 21: 33 NOT 21:25 - 21:33.
Thank you.
Confirmed that this indeed was an error in the original 1988 CJLS triennial reading document. We've published the corrected reading on the hebcal.com website.
Is third Triennial for Chukat inaccurate? Chamishi and Shishi both have 21:25
It looks like Numbers 21:25 is listed twice in the triennial cycle; is this a mistake? I think so. Please advise.

Have Hebrew Date Appear on Top in Google Calendar (month view)
I've downloaded Hebrew Calendar Dates en and he.
I'm successfully importing names and Yahrtzeit dates in CSV format from ShulCloud.
When I view the calendar, the hebrew dates for each day appear below the yahrtzeit names. I would like the hebrew date to appear at the top of each date
If I add an event time to each name, then the date does appear on top of the box. However the time is appearing in each box which clutters each day.
How can I have the hebrew date always appear on top?
We have a large shul and space on the calendar is important.
Thanks
Neil
Thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for taking the time to post this message.
As I understand your post, you are looking to change the way Google Calendar formats events in the month view. You'd like the Hebcal daily Hebrew Dates to appear at the top of each day in the calendar month grid. Did I understand correctly?
Unfortunately, we do not have any way to influence how the Google Calendar month view works.
You might have better luck with Apple Calendar. In Apple Calendar, you can change the order of the calendars in the sidebar by dragging them up or down in the list. Calendars higher in the sidebar list will print closer to the top of each day in the month, week or day views. Calendars lower in the list will print closer to the bottom of each day.
We hope this helps!
If other readers have other suggestions, we'd love to hear them!
Rosh Chodesh readings are missing
Hi Michael,
It is my understanding that the Rosh Chodesh Tammuz Torah reading will be held on Wednesday 06/29/22 and Thursday 06/30/22.
However, since the Rosh Chodesh readings were removed from the weekday csv's - I don't see any reference to them on this website any longer.
Could you kindly prepare another csv that has all of the Rosh Chodesh readings?
A diaspora, Israel, and triennial version would be great.
below is the link to the Rosh Chodesh reading schemes for reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Tov_Torah_readings#Rosh_Chodesh
Rosh Chodesh
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)[40]
Reading 1: Numbers 28:1–3
Reading 2: Numbers 28:3–5 (the third verse is re-read)[41]
Reading 3: Numbers 28:6–10
Reading 4: Numbers 28:11–15
Rosh Chodesh (Shabbat)[42]
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.[43]
I have suggested this before - and I would like to suggest again that all the csv's be consolidated into a single csv for simplicity's sake. Now, if someone only wants to only see Shabbat readings - then you have a filter for Shabbat readings right inside the excel sheet. This makes simple sense to me and it would also lead to a full and comprehensive single document.
hi, thanks for using Hebcal. We implemented Rosh Chodesh Torah readings in our CSV downloads several months ago.
Please see this page
https://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/#download
And note this excerpt:
- The Full Kriyah CSV files contain Torah & Haftara readings for Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh, holidays and fast days.
- The Weekday CSV files contain Torah readings for Mondays & Thursdays (and Shabbat mincha) when those days don't co-occur with one of the events above. In other words, these files are intended to be mutually exclusive with the Full Kriyah Shabbat/holiday files.
If you download the fullkriyah-5782.csv file you will see the following starting at line 671:
29-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 1 Numbers 28:1-28:3 3
29-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 2 Numbers 28:3-28:5 3
29-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 3 Numbers 28:6-28:10 5
29-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 4 Numbers 28:11-28:15 5
30-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 1 Numbers 28:1-28:3 3
30-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 2 Numbers 28:3-28:5 3
30-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 3 Numbers 28:6-28:10 5
30-Jun-22 Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 4 Numbers 28:11-28:15 5
