Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!


To display a calendar grid on the synagogue website, we recommend using the FullCalendar.io component. There are some details here:

There are many other developer integrations that we support. Take a look here for additional options:

Aliya lengths

Nathan Kasimer 4 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago 3

The info on each Sedra has the number of pesukim in each aliya: https://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/shlach

This data isn't in the API, at least as far as I can tell: https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal?v=1&cfg=json&start=2021-06-05&end=2021-06-05&s=on

Where does this number come from?  Is it possible to pull this data from somewhere?

Answer

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

The aliyah lengths are available via API using our JavaScript npm package https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hebcal/leyning


They are also available via Comma Separated Value (CSV) files which you can import into Microsoft Excel or some other spreadsheet program.

Hope this helps!

Why are second and third triennial year readings identical for Nitzavim?

etayluz 4 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago 1

Why are the second and third triennial year readings identical for Nitzavim?

They are identical to the full kriyah.

The first triennial year also seems almost identical:

https://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/nitzavim

This doesn't feel very "triennial" to me at all.

Answer

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

The triennial readings on Hebcal.com come from A Complete Triennial System for Reading the Torah by the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly.

On page 418 of the document, Rabbi Eisenberg writes:

נצבים-וילך are read separately about as often as they are combined. Because each Sidrah is brief (Nitzavim is only 40 verses, Vayelech 30 verses), I recommend reading both in their entirety when they appear separately.

Due to my reluctance to divide Deuteronomy 29:15-28 (which would necessitate ending on a negative note) there is some overlapping in year II (30:1-14). Similarly, in year III, 31:22 is repeated in order to avoid dividing 31:14-19, while allowing for seven aliyot.

Where are the triennial reading schemes for vezot-haberakhah?

Where are the triennial reading schemes for vezot-haberakhah?

I don't see them on this page:

On page 418 of the document, Rabbi Eisenberg writes:

האזינו-וזאת הברכה should both be read in their entirety due to their brief length.

Note that וזאת הברכה is not a regular parsha read on Shabbat; it's read on the evening of Simchat Torah.

We can add triennial readings (which will be identical to the full kriyah readings) here for clarity.

Calendar REST API fails out of season if Omer count is turned on

Monica Cellio 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 4

We use the REST API to add the Hebrew date to our site.  We added this integration during the Omer and included o=on in the URL.  We're fetching data a month a time, so we've only now (June 1) encountered this failure: if the URL includes o=on "out of season", the API returns the wrong month's data.  We expected this directive to just be ignored outside of the Omer.

Specifically, this URL returns data for May, not June:

https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal?v=1&cfg=json&year=now&month=now&d=on&o=on

Dropping "&o=on" causes the current month's data to be returned.

Would it be possible for the API to ignore the Omer directive when not relevant?  We'd like to be able to embed one durable URL, without having to remember to edit it at the beginning and end of the Omer each year.
