Your calendar with Torah Portions and your Torah Portion list for 2023 have a discrepancy for May 27, 2023
The Torah Portion for May 27, 2023 on your calendar says Shavuot 11, but when you download the Torah Portion list, it says Nasso.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!
In Israel there is only one day of Shavuot. In the diaspora there are two days.
Please be sure that you download the version that matches your location.

tefila times
thank you for the work you do! i have been using the site for over ten years. would you consider adding
סוף זמן קריאת שמע (גר״א) וסוף זמן תפילה?

thats a shame is this api alpha? if not, so thats to much bugs for one week using :(

Accidentally deleted Hebcal from my iPhone. Where can I find it?
It appeared double. I deleted one, all are gone.

Sorry to hear about the accidental deletion. Thanks for using Hebcal!

You used to be able to easily change months. Now the site seems to only allow changing years
You used to be able to easily change months. Now the site seems to only allow changing years.
This refers to the buttons at the bottom in the list format. For example, if viewing October, 2020 you’d see buttons pointing back to September, 2020 and forward to November, 2020.
Now I see buttons pointing to (October) 2019 and October (2020).

Daf Yomi alignment with Jewish calendar
Eruvin 40 addressed the topic of what to do when Rosh HaShanah fell on Shabbat, on the very day that Rosh HaShanah fell on Shabbat. Is there any way to predict when this particular alignment of daf and event (Eruvin 40 coincides with 29 Elul or 30 Elul) might occur again?

Hi, Shana Tova!
The next time Eruvin 40 coincides with 29 Elul is October 14, 4885.
