Hi, we've started working on an experimental Zmanim iCalendar feed. We'd love your feedback.

The basic format of the feeds is this:

You can specify the location using the same parameters described on this page

Rosh Hashanah LaBehema

Skyler 5 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago 2

Can Rosh Hashanah LaBehema (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosh_Hashanah_LaBehema) be added to the calendar? I previously wasn't aware that there were 4 Rosh Hashanot observed, and this holiday has been experiencing a resurgence in observance, besides the fact that it's pretty cool. It's the first of Elul. A lot of people use Hebcal and having it added also would increase its awareness.

Thanks for your patience. Fast start and end times are now provided for major fast (Tish’a B’Av) and minor fasts (Ta’anit Esther, Tzom Gedaliah, Tzom Tammuz, Asara B’Tevet, & Ta’anit Bechorot). Minor fasts begin at alot hashachar (when the sun is 16.1° below the horizon in the morning) and end when 3 medium-sized stars are observable in the night sky (when the sun is 7.083° below the horizon in the evening). Tish’a B’Av fast begins at sundown and ends when 3 medium-sized stars are observable.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

Rosh Hashana occurs on the first of Tishrei (September 18 at sundown) but we don't call this Rosh chodesh Tishrei.

Shabbat Shuva -- Torah reading

Nostradamus 5 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago 2

Are the Torah readings for Shabbat Shuva (and similar occasions) available on the Hebcal website. I have the Cohen luach, but I'd rather cut and paste!

Answer

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

Torah readings for Shabbat Shuva and similar occasions are indeed available. For example:

https://www.hebcal.com/holidays/shabbat-shuva-2020


You'll find the entire year's holidays here, and Torah & Haftarah readings are on individual pages.

https://www.hebcal.com/holidays/2020-2021

If you are a leyning coordinator for your shul, you might also enjoy our spreadsheets that have aliyot-by-aliyot breakdown for both Shabbat and holidays:

The 7th month, is it Ethanim or Tishrei. Are they same?

Segun Emmanuel Awe 5 years ago updated by Lucy Barnard 3 years ago 2

According to 1 Kings 8 verse 2, the 7th month is Ethanim but on your website it is Tishrei. Are they same?
