Jewish Month Structure
Hi,
Is there any way to set that months are displayed according to Jewish calendar and Gregorian is secondary?
Rosh Chodesh does not appear on the google calendar app
Jewish holidays work fine on my Google desktop, but Rosh Chodesh does not appear on my calendar app.
Outlook Calendar Error - one hour earlier!
Hi
I have used HebCal for years. I now live in Israel.
When I subscribe to ICS with latest outlook using Israel as location, it puts my events straddling two days - e.g. a chag will be from 11pm to 11pm the next night and each "date" from 11pm to 11pm next time.
Its very hard to actually work out what is what and renders the calendar useless.
Please help
Hi Neil, thanks for being a long time Hebcal user and reporting this bug many years ago. Although we corresponded privately recently, I'm also answering this question here for others who may be searching for the answer.
We were finally able to reproduce this error on Outlook 365 web. We made two changes to our iCalendar feeds to fix the problem for you:
1. Our .ics feeds so they include X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:TRUE which according to some Microsoft documentation might fix the problem.
2. Our VTIMEZONE implementation for Asia/Jerusalem (the timezone that is used throughout Israel) has been modified so it only uses a simpler, current Daylight Saving Time rules (which clocks are advanced by one hour, beginning on the Friday before the last Sunday of March, and ending on the last Sunday of October). This is perfectly accurate for any calendars 2013 and later (when the Israeli government standardized and simplified DST rules).
Shana Tova!
Hebcal and Microsoft Office
When we switched over to microsoft office, Hebcal would no longer work with outlook. Is anyone else having this problem? I have asked our IT support company to look into this and they have not been able to solve it. It used to be so easy and now I am not clear about how to solve this. Even before the switch, we were having a lot of trouble with duplicates and were told by our IT people that it could only be cleared up manually. But now I don't have it at all!
Changing content
Am I allowed to change text from the site to display G'd instead of spelling out the name in English? Example of what I would like to copy and amend:
Yom Yerushalayim / יום ירושלים
Jerusalem Day (Hebrew: יום ירושלים, Yom Yerushalayim) is an Israeli national holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem and the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City in June 1967. The Chief Rabbinate of Israel declared Jerusalem Day a minor religious holiday to thank G'd for victory in the Six-Day War and for answering the 2,000-year-old prayer of "Next Year in Jerusalem".
Yom Yerushalayim begins at sundown on Sat, 01 June 2019.

Proper citation?
I would like to include some information on a public website, including the more detailed information on the Holidays. I know I am supposed to cite HebCal, but when it comes to exceptions, I am not sure if the sources section indicates that those sections are no longer under the same license, which would make me a violator, right? Below is an example of what I would like to use:
Rosh Hashana / ראש השנה
Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: ראש השנה), (literally "head of the year"), is the Jewish New Year. It is the first of the High Holidays or Yamim Noraim ("Days of Awe"), celebrated ten days before Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah is observed on the first two days of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. It is described in the Torah as יום תרועה (Yom Teru'ah, a day of sounding [the Shofar]).
Rosh Hashana begins at sundown on Sun, 29 September 2019.
