It's doesn't mean anything 15eme Tevet. But 15 Tevet, How can I do that please? 
Thank you,

Thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for the feedback about the ordinal number suffixes for French numbers. We are not native French speakers, so we were using some software written by others. I apologize that it doesn't make sense.

We will plan to make changes to the Hebcal site to remove the meaningless suffix sometime in the coming week.

Festival date\s and spelling

Michaelv 4 years ago updated by Swayer Scott 4 years ago 2

It's possible to find the dates of festivals in specific years and series of years, - eg. Chanukah 1932, Chanukah 5691, Chanukah 2000-2010, Chanukah 2010-2020 - via Google but not your search box even after I'd changed from the normal Israeli transliteration of  Hanukkah to your spalling. Why doesn't your search box find information which is on your site?.

Answer

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. We're sorry to hear that our search box isn't working as well as it should.


You can find a summary of the spelling of holiday names here

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

If you uncheck some options such as Rosh Chodesh, there will indeed be Gregorian months where no Jewish holidays occur.

Asara b'Tevet fast start times are incorrect (in some cases showing up as after the end of the fast)

Josh Greenfield 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 2

When I download or subscribe to the calendar for 2020, I see on January 7th, the fast ends at 5:20 pm (NY time) and the fast starts at 5:52 pm. Similarly, for December 25th, I see Fast begins at 5:50 pm and no fast starting time.  I see this whether I subscribe to an iPhone calendar, or via Google Calendar, or by downloading .ics (you can see this: SUMMARY:Fast begins
DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201225T175000).  The .csv download seems to be correct, however.
