Reading dates for the Five Megillot

etayluz 3 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 1

The Eicha (Book of Lamentations) reading is coming up on Tisha B'Av Saturday night August 6, 2022 following Shabbat.

Michael, could you kindly include a csv (ranging years 5780 to 5793) for the Five Megillot which contains reading dates for Book of Lamentations (Eicha - Tisha B'Av), Book of Esther (Purim), Song of Songs (Sabbath of Passover), Book of Ruth (Shavuot), and Ecclesiastes (Sukkot)

Are these books read in their entirety or are only some of their chapters read?

sephardi torah/haftarah readings

Michael Mocatta 4 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago 3

Sephardi readings are often different. For instance, on Shabbat Pesach I, we read an additional verse (Joshua 6.27) at the end of the standard reading. 

HebCal does not show these differences. Which makes it an unreliable resource for sephardim. Which is a shame - as it's fixable. It would be great if you fixed it! Then you'd have a resource for all of Am Yisrael.

Want to add a new yahrzeit to my list of yahrzeits

AnnPiece 4 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago 2

Please help. Don't know how to add a new yahrzeit to my list of yahrzeits on HebCal. using Mac OS 12.1 (Monterey). 

Thanks!

Answer
Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago

If you return to the https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit page from the same web browser you used earlier, you should now see a page that lists your previously created calendars:

Then, click on an existing personal calendar link.


Near the bottom of the page, you'll see a green button that says "Add another name"


Fill out the new row and click the blue "Update Calendar" button at the bottom of the page.

Shorter the Hebrew Dates

Gilad 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 2

Firstly, thank you very much for the wonderful Hebrew Calendar. Ofter many searchs i found yours and its the best!! Thanks!


Now, if i can suggest, if its possible to shorten the Hebrew date. Instead of - כז חשוון התשפב, to write just - כז חשוון for example...


Maybe it can be in the setting of the calendar and anyone who want to tick that option will can.


This is the only negative i can find in your wonderful work. Thank you again and hope my suggestion is doable 🙂

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for posting this suggestion!

We've changed our calendars so we only include the year in the Hebrew date for the 1st of Tishrei (e.g. Rosh Hashana).
