Labels for events

Frank Goldsmith 6 years ago 0
When I subscibe to Hebcal, the times for Shabbat candle-lighting and Havdalah are shown as "busy." On a different subscription account, the names are correctly stated. How can I change the "busy" to the correct names for the events?

How do you pronounce "hebcal?" Is it h-e-b-c-al or h-e-e-b-c-a-l?

sukkot chol ha mo'ed Torah portions

RabbiMeirah 6 years ago 0

I am trying to figure out the Torah reading for a person who died Oct. 21 2016. It is Sukkot, Chol ha Moed day 3 (5th day of Sukkot.) I am finding two problems. 1. In the calendar, the days of Sukkot are listed, I through VII, noting which ones are Chol ha Mo'ed. When I go to the Torah portions, the designation for what "day" it is is listed a little differently. Then, for my day in question, The final aliyah seems to go back and repeat a previous aliyah, but not the one directly previous. I don't know how to toggle between this page and the relevant Hebcal page to check while I am writing this to you. These things confuse me a lot, so I would like another's eyes to check it out. Thanks!

convert date of death to next yahrzeit date

mnburnett 6 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago 2

I have a long list of Hebrew dates of death in a MySQL database table. I would like to get the secular date of the next yahrzeit for all of these. Any suggestions on how to do this other than manually one-by-one?
