"torah" field chol hamoed pesach incorrect

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

In Chol Hamoed Pesach Torah readings, each aliya is correct, but the overall "Torah reading" fields are incorrect.  They either omit the 4th aliya, or (for ChM 4) show the entire range from aliya 1 to aliya 4 without separating it to show the chapters skipped.

Answer

Thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for the bug report! We have fixed this issue.

For ChM1, it now says: "Torah Portion: Exodus 13:1-16; Numbers 28:19-25" - and similarly it's fixed in other places where the aliyot contain readings from multiple sifrei Torah

Can you add Mevarchim/Molad info into the Shabbat API?

Leon Adato 4 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago 2

Long time user, first time caller. 

Before I start, I want to thank you for all the hard work over the years to make this site and data better and better. It really has made a difference not only for me, but for helping me communicate the calendar, holidays, etc to my colleagues (and family, in some cases).

Shameless flattery out of the way, my question is whether you could, as the subject of this post implies, add the Molad information into the Shabbat API. I know I can loop through the full calendar output, but for my application (pulling the upcoming Shabbat information to auto-build my shul's email) it seems like it would be less overall churn it (the molad) was included in the Shabbat output.

Thank you again.

Thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for the suggestion! We have added Shabbat Mevarchim to the Shabbat API 

https://www.hebcal.com/shabbat?cfg=json&zip=90035&gy=2021&gm=8&gd=5


You'll notice an item that looks like this:

{

"title": "Shabbat Mevarchim Chodesh Elul",

"date": "2021-08-07",

"category": "mevarchim",

"hebrew": "שבת מברכים חודש אלול",

"memo": "Molad Elul: Sun, 43 minutes and 10 chalakim after 10:00"

},

Deselect Major Holidays

Parker Robb 4 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago 1

I want to export Major Holidays, Minor Holidays, Modern Holidays all to different calendars, but there doesn’t seem to be the ability to export the two latter only—for some reason “Major Holidays” is checked and I can’t uncheck it. is there any way to export just Minor Holidays or Modern Holidays?

Answer
Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for the question.

Unfortunately no, we don't have a way to export just Minor or Modern holidays. Currently our calendar requires major holidays when you check one of the other options.

Calendar no longer offers Hebrew date for 20 years?

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

You previously had a option to create a calendar showing each year's Hebrew date.  That is what I was seeking when I logged in today.  I don't need a calendar showing when the English birthday occurs, I need the Hebrew date.  How can I now do that without having to do year by year with the converter?

Readings for hol hamoed Pesah 5781 incorrect

Mikie Goldstein 4 years ago updated 3 years ago 3

The readings that Hebcal has for the days of hol hamoed Pesah 5781 in Israel are incorrect. The first day of hol hamoed (second day of Pesah) should be the same Vayikra reading as read in hutz laaretz. We actually read the same each day! The big problem is that Hebcal has NO reading for the last day of hol hamoed in Israel (Friday)! I have just had to deal with a question about this from a student, who was most perplexed that there was NO reading for this day!
Please correct the readings, especially if the same appears in future years (I didn't check).

Yes, I live in Israel but I want to see the triennial system. How do I get there?

Maayan Turner 4 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago 1

I used to see the diaspora readings, and now my computer, it seems, has worked out I'm in Israel - but I still want to see the triennial system, with links, week by week (not downloaded in a single document). Is there a way for me to switch "back" to the diaspora mode? Or, even better, to see the triennial system IN ISRAEL??

Answer
Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

We are sorry to hear you are having trouble finding the triennial Torah readings. Triennial schedule is only available in the Diaspora, and you may have customized your calendar for Israel.

We made a small change to our Israel Torah reading pages earlier this week to make it easier to switch to the Diaspora schedule. You will now see a section called Triennial that includes a link that says "See Diaspora schedule".

Please take a look again and let us know if this helps?
