Leyning coordinators can download these Comma Separated Value (CSV) files and import into Microsoft Excel or some other spreadsheet program. These include Triennial readings for past years and future years.

Error in May and June 2020.

wordwatchsa 5 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 2

It seems that the month of "Sivan" has been replaced with "Nissan" erroneously.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

We don't see the error - could you explain which day in May or June is incorrectly shown as ניסן when in fact it's supposed to be סיון

Yom HaAliyah is garbled on website and calendar

BenF 5 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 6

The HebCal diaspora holiday calendar lists Yom HaAliyah as the 7th of Cheshvan. As explained on the website:


Yom HaAliyah (Aliyah Day) (Hebrew: יום העליה) is an Israeli national holiday celebrated annually on the seventh of the Hebrew month of Cheshvan, to commemorate the historic events which happened on the tenth of the Hebrew month of Nisan (Hebrew: י’ ניסן).

 https://www.hebcal.com/holidays/yom-haaliyah

This is incorrect. As is clearly stated in both of the references on that page (Am Yisrael Foundation and Wikipedia), the holiday is in fact 10 Nisan. Because of the proximity of Yom HaAliyah to Pesach, the Israel Ministry of Education sponsors Yom HaAliyah programs in schools on 7 Cheshvan

Please change the date of Yom HaAliyah on the HebCal diaspora holiday calendar from 7 Cheshvan to 10 Nisan, and correct the holiday page on the website.

Hello, thanks for using Hebcal. The 11 of Sivan begins Thursday night at sundown, and the majority of 11 Sivan is in fact on Friday.

Add language option for the date REST API

Rem113 5 years ago updated 5 years ago 2

Hi,

I'm currently building an Android app using your REST API, mainly to get the date in hebrew.

However, with each request comes a list of "events" like omer day, parashat of the week, etc.

But the events are described in english.

I'd like to request a language option, since i'm builing an app for french people.

I could help you with the translation.


Thanks in advance,

Hillel Saal

Workaround for removing merged Hebcal events in your main event calendar.

melissadv 5 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 2

First, SHAME ON YOU for providing an easy destructive install!  It's inexcusable. This should not be an option at all. Your instructions for removal didn't entirely work on MacOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra), probably because High Sierra reformats the hard drive. Here's what DOES work:

1. Select the merged calendar and Search for "hebcal" and delete. (On High Sierra, this removed very little.)

2. Delete remaining items using successive searches that capture multiple items—e.g., month names (Iyyar, Adar, Sh'vat, etc.) and other items (Omer). In a short time, you can clean up the calendar. 

P.S. I've been a UX Designer for many years. Allowing a destructive install breaks a primary rule for good behavior. The fact that the calendar is free just means that you provide no support. Shame! At least update your removal instructions to include this workaround
