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!

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

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

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

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?

Rosh Hashana spelled in English

DavidF 5 years ago updated 5 years ago 2

Hello. All my holidays are in Hebrew -- including עֶרֶב רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה and רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה יוֹם ב׳ -- except Rosh Hashana 5781 is in English. Why, and how can I fix it (beside importing the calendar and manually editing every Rosh Hashana
