Candle Lighting Times
I have used hebcal for decades on GNU/Linux and also on thunderbird. It has been accurate and rock solid. I decided I needed to update the thunderbird calander and the new calander, both as generated on the website and the download is off on candlighting time by about 3 minutes, and Havdalah, I have really no idea what is happening. The commandline seems correct to 72 minutes 7/31/2020 Candle lighting: 7:53 8/1/2020 Shabbat Nachamu 8/1/2020 Havdalah (72 min): 9:22 8/5/2020 Tu B'Av Website: Shabbat Times Brooklyn, New York, USA Candle lighting: 7:55pm on Friday, 31 July 2020 Shabbat Nachamu occurs on Saturday, 1 August 2020 This week's Torah portion is Parashat Vaetchanan Havdalah (72 min): 9:24pm on Saturday, 1 August 2020 Tu B'Av occurs on Wednesday, 5 August 2020 City Havdalah nightfall (tzeit hakochavim) ℹ️ minutes past sundown ℹ️ I had to set it to 72 minutes, FWIW I see a notwe about the website about making an adjustment to the Shabbat times.

Another update: after a bunch of research, we've come to the conclusion that the sunset algorithm we were using in the JavaScript version of Hebcal wasn't accurate enough. As of today, we have swapped it out for a version that although less-commonly used in the JS world, seems to match both the previous C version and most other sources.
Some of the Hebcal event feeds are cached up to 1 week, so subscriptions on Google Calendar, iPhone, etc might not refresh until next Sunday.

Thank you for the bug report. The error has been corrected and now Jerusalem candle lighting times are correctly listed as 40 minutes before sundown. Shabbat shalom!

not showing Hebrew date
Hi:
I checked Show Hebrew date every day of the year but its not showing in Hebrew on every date

Thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for the bug report!
We have fixed the inadvertent omission of Hebrew text when you select "Sephardic translit + Hebrew" or "Ashkenazi translit + Hebrew". Now the website is behaving as it claims to do.

Multiple Calendar Downloads
Hi,
I have downloaded the Hebcal calendar for Google multiple times at different times, to cover broad ranges of date years.
I did this not knowing that it will make for a miserable reading of any given day in my calendar as it posts the same event over 10 times. My question is if it's possible to erase the downloaded Hebcal databases, and start from scratch.
Can anyone clarify where Hebcal's databases are stored within the Android (Google PIxel 4) system?
Thank you very much for any help here.

Hebcal events are supported on Android via Google Calendar. If you'd like to remove Hebcal events from your Android device, remove them first from Google Calendar, and then let your Android device sync your Google account.

Candle lighting no longer shows on iOS
Until Friday July 3, the NY candle lighting appeared on my iOS calendar. After that date it no longer shows. Anyone know how to restore it?
