Select All?

Is it possible to add a 'select all' box under 'Customize, print & download your calendar of Jewish holidays'? This way, you don't have to check every single box individually.

It looks like there was only one Shabbat Chanukah in 1949, and that was Parashat Vayeshev. You can click the page to find out the Torah & Haftorah.

Can't Set Jewish Holidays Alerts (Reminder Changes By Itself Afterwards Too)

essiocolom 5 years ago 0

Hi guys,

First of all, iPhone seems to have an issue on showing all-day events on the Calendar widget (haven't found a workaround that doesn't need to install other app). So I thought, well, I'll just add a reminder to all events and it's done.

Of course, I went to Calendar setting and for Default Alert Times I deactivated them: None.


When I go to an event and add a reminder, it won't show in the widget. Then, it will automatically change the reminder to none by itself. So, it seems it doesn't work when I set up a reminder (like 2 days before) and then it also changes the reminder to none. 

You can see a video of this here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o1xafro8agmbg3q/video-1547901236.mp4?dl=0

Cheers!

Sephardic custom when Yahrzeit falls on Adar

Omid 5 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 2


https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit/


My understanding is that, for Sephardic Jews, all anniversaries (including Yahrzeit) that occurred on Adar, are observed on Adar II (Adar sheni) on leap years. This is different from the Ashkenazi custom as is briefly explained here:

https://www.hebcal.com/home/54/anniversaries-adar-cheshvan-kislev

It would be great to

1.) For such dates, add a note/warning at the top of the page.

2.) Eventually, offer a setting on this page to switch to Sephardic version.


Thank you

I want to write code that will close my e-commerce store over Shabbos. I'd love to be able to use your API to find out Shabbos times. Does the API cost money?

Great! You can do so at no cost. Usage of our API is free.

Kadish for Yahrzeit

Adame 5 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 5 years ago 2

Trying to calculate when to say kadish for my father. When the calendar indicates, for example, February 22nd, does it mean that Kadish is to be said the night before (night of the 21st) and also for Shaharit and Minha of the 22nd? Or is it to be said the night of the 22nd and the shaharit and minha of the next day?

Thanks!

Correct! 

In general, Jewish Holidays begin the evening before the date specified. This is because the Jewish day actually begins at sundown on the previous night. Sometimes, for clarity, the Erev holiday is also included to indicate that the holiday begins the evening before.

This calendar may appear to be coming from Hebcal, but it's not hosted by hebcal.com

Likely the cause is that somebody downloaded a copy of the Hebcal calendar, added their own personal events to it, then accidentally shared it openly on Google Calendar.

To find out how to remove this from your Google calendar (and whom you should contact to let them know that they inadvertently may have published their personal calendar openly), try this:

  1. Open your web browser to https://calendar.google.com/
  2. Find the calendar you're looking for on the left-land side of the screen under the heading "Other calendars"
  3. Hover your mouse and you'll see a 3 vertical dot icon near the name of the calendar that will say "Options for Hebcal Diaspora"
  4. Click the 3-dot icon and from the popup menu pick "Settings"
  5. If it's coming from our Hebcal servers, you will see a section called "URL" and you would see something like "
  6. If" class="redactor-autoparser-object">http://download.hebcal.com/...".
  7. If it's coming from another Google users, you'll see an "Owner" section that looks like "example@gmail.com"
  8. Either way, you should click the "Remove Calendar" from the left-hand side. This will take you to a section that says "Remove calendar - By unsubscribing, you will no longer have access to this calendar. Learn more." Go ahead and click the "Unsubscribe" button to confirm.
  9. Now you can go back to our standard Google Calendar Jewish holidays download instructions to get a refreshed copy of the holidays directly from Hebcal

Hope this helps!
