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.

Javascript to display Hebrew date in English
| <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" | |
| src="https://www.hebcal.com/etc/hdate-en.js"></script> |
As of Aug 25 2021 11.00hrs GMT, the code above for displaying Hebrew date in English does not appear to function correctly, as evidenced on your own webpage for developers. The other script for displaying the date in Hebrew characters appears to work fine
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for reporting this bug!
We were able to reproduce the bug on our end and have deployed a fix for the problem.
The new version of our Javascript code that displays date in English or Hebrew now uses client-side Javascript that adjusts the date based on the browser's timezone. Previously it was based on the timezone of our server (near New York City USA). The new version should better reflect the actual Hebrew date for your users.
Shabbat Shalom and Shana Tova!
Thanks for using the Hebcal Yahrzeit and Anniversary feature. We are sorry to hear that there is a problem with your calendar involving Yizkor events.
Can you send us the URL of your calendar subscription so we can investigate the problem?
Or if you don't have that, could you forward us one of the email confirmation or verification messages? You can paste it here or your can send it to mradwin@hebcal.com
Thanks!
How Are Zmanim Calculated
Hi I have been thanks so much for this API, its amazing! I'm using it to generate an erev shabbos calendar. (Using the Zmanim API because I wanted Plag too) I was reading up on some documentation for calculating times of day and from what I have seen there seem to be two ways to calculate sunrise and other times of day. The USNO (US Navel Observatory), and the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). Which one is used by HebCal?
I see a similar question was asked 4 years ago and was not addressed. So if you can please shed some light (no pun intended) I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for the question!
Since one year ago (August 2020) our sunrise/sunset algorithm is based on NOAA. There is a little more detail about our implementation here:

Hebrew dates for a given Parasha over a period of 10 years
Is there a way I can find the Hebrew dates for, say, Parashat Yitro, for a period of about 10 years - 1918 thru 1928? I’m trying to deduce a Gregorian birthdate for a family member in order to search for archived birth records.
What we have is a partial date in Shvat, and positive knowledge that it was the week of Parashat Yitro.
It would also be convenient (but not essential) to have equivalent Gregorian dates.
Short of the hard way, Is there any way of doing this now?
TIA
Josh
Hi Josh, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for your question.
You can visit the Parashat Yitro page on Hebcal and next to the recent dates you'll find a search box that says "Look up the date of Parashat Yitro in a past or future year"
If you enter those 10 years (1918 through 1928) you should be able to get the dates (both Gregorian and Hebrew) pretty quickly.
