Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and our yahrzeit email reminder service.
You'll find an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every Yahrzeit email reminder message like the following:
Yahrzeit reminder email messages come from Hebcal and have a subject like "Yahrzeit Observance for October 20-21"
If for some reason you can't find the Yahrzeit message, please send an email to mradwin@hebcal.com and we'll look your email address up in our database and get you unsubscribed.

באג בפרשת שבוע פינחס
בממהיר תאריכים לתאריך כ תמוז תשפ"ב כתוב פרשת פנחס
למרות שבפועל זה פרשת מטות

If you're using the REST API you can append &i=on to the URL and you'll get results for Israel instead of the Diaspora.

Hi, thanks so much for the feedback and bug report. We investigated the issue and agree that the count looked incorrect for some locations if you visited the Hebcal.com homepage after sunset.
We have modified the candle count to match the correct number of candles based on your latitude/longitude, and we've further clarified by adding the day of the week instead of "tonight"
Chanukah Sameach!

Hi Rabbi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for your message.
The Hebcal.com website does list Parashat Tazria as year 3 of triennial cycle for the current year.
Tazria 5782 / תַזְרִיעַ
Read on 2 April 2022 / 1 Nisan 5782
https://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/tazria-20220402
Did you find a page that indicates that the April 2022 reading is for the 2nd year? If so, could you send us the URL and a screenshot?
Chanukah Sameach!

Update documentation to include date range "hebcal" API?
I'm putting together a page that will show the Parsha hashavua and specific times for a given Hebrew year.
The hebcal.com/hebcal? API will give me the Shabbat dates for a year, but only (as far as I can see) a Gregorian year.
I tested out the &start= and &end= option which is documented in the hebcal.com/zmanim page, and found it works.
The fact that it works is lovely. The fact that it's not described on the hebal.com/hebcal page is perhaps less lovely. I'm willing to pitch in and help with the documentation if that helps.

Thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for this suggestion!
We have updated the Jewish Calendar REST API documentation to reflect the availability of the start/end parameters

Chanukah Sameach!

Chanukah Rosh Hodesh Maftir?
Aliyah #4 for Rosh Hodesh + Chanukah on a weekday (e.g. Day 7 in 2021) is listed as a maftir, but there is no Haftarah that day. It should just be the 4th aliyah.

Thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks so much for catching this error!
We have fixed the aliyot so the 4th aliyah is listed as 4 and not maftir. You may need to refresh the page to see the corrected version.

Add to Google calendar
Trying to add calendar for 2022 onwards to Google, when it switches to the calendar app, says that calendar no longer exists

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.

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:
