Calendar based on Hebrew years/months?
Hi,
Is it possible with HebCal to get a calendar based on the Hebrew months and not the gregorian months? Instead of September and Tishri inside, Tishri and September/october inside for example. I tried all types of settings but it doesn't appear to exist...
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for your question. You are correct, we don't currently offer a way to view/print a calendar that's primarily based on the Hebrew months. Because of our focus on integrating with other calendar apps (Apple, Google, Outlook, etc) we are a bit oriented towards the Gregorian calendar as the primary view.
Our colleagues at Judaism 101 maintain a 3-month calendar in the format you describe:

Can the link to the Aliyot text (Sefaria or tikkun.io) display *only* the verses for that aliyot reading?
While it is great to have the links from HebCal directly to the chapter:verse where the aliyot begin, it would be even more amazing if it displayed ONLY the text for that specific aliyot. This would be extremely helpful for our lay readers to be able to download/print just the text they need for their reading.

Torah readings for Monday's and Thursday's?
I am posting the same question that was posted by another user four years ago:
https://hebcal.userecho.com/en/communities/1/topics/229-torah-readings-on-mondays-and-thursdays
Where can I find the Torah reading Aliyah spans for Monday's and Thursday's? Currently, I am following the aliyah's as they are shown in the back of the ArtScroll siddur. I have noticed that the first three aliyah's on Monday/Thursday rarely coincide with the first three aliyah's that are recited on the following Shabbat. So they MUST be defined explicitly.
So where can I find the first three aliyah spans for Monday's and Thursday's as they are laid out in the Artscroll Sidur?
Thanks!

Hi, we have added weekday Torah readings to our parsha pages:
Mo'adim L'Simcha!

Alexa Hebcal Havdalah
When I ask for candle lighting times, it only gives Shabbos start. It doesn't give Havdalah time. I realize it's not on the list, but if it could be added, please. (while I'm at it, if I ask candle lighting time erev Yom Tov, it also assumes Shabbos, even though she knows to say Chag Sameach!)

Confused about dates on calendar
I have downloaded my father's Yahrzeit dates on the Hebcal calendar for many years.. My father passed on the 8th of kislev. in 1999. In 2019 it listed the Yahrzeit date of Sat, November 13, 2021 as the correct date.. I just checked on a more recent Hebcal Jewish calendar and his Yahrzeit date is now listed as Friday, November 12, 2021. Can you help explain this to me? I am very confused.
Thanks so much!

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and we're sorry to hear about the confusion on yahrzeit dates.
Do you know if your father passed away before or after sunset?
If your father passed away on Wed, 17 November 1999 before sunset, then yes, the date of death is 8th of Kislev, 5760
If your father passed away on Wed, 17 November 1999 after sunset, then the date of death is actually 9th of Kislev, 5760
When using the Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar at https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit please be careful to select before sunset or after sunset.

hi fyi last day Succos (Simchas Torah) not noted on calendar view thanks! Gmar Chasima Tova!

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!
Please double check your location (Diaspora vs Israel) and what setting you selected in Hebcal.
If you are located in Israel, Shmini Atzetet and Simchat Torah occur on the same day (the 22nd of Tishrei)
If you are located in the Diaspora, Simchat Torah follows Shmini Atzetet on the 23rd of Tishrei

candlelighting times are not showing up in your ios calendar download -- ipad
candlelighting is what it says once downloaded, though the times are there before the download.

Thanks for using Hebcal! We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble getting candle-lighting times to show up on your iPad.
To fix the problem, we recommend first removing your current Hebcal calendar from your iPad, and then start over with the form to customize your candle-lighting times for your location.
