To make a change to a Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar calendar, delete or unsubscribe from the calendar. Return to Hebcal.com and re-enter in all of the event details, then download again. Hebcal does not yet support editing event dates.

Thank you for the bug report. The error has been corrected and now Jerusalem candle lighting times are correctly listed as 40 minutes before sundown. Shabbat shalom!

Thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for the bug report!

We have fixed the inadvertent omission of Hebrew text when you select "Sephardic translit + Hebrew" or "Ashkenazi translit + Hebrew". Now the website is behaving as it claims to do.

Multiple Calendar Downloads

twentymore 5 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 5 years ago 1

Hi,

I have downloaded the Hebcal calendar for Google multiple times at different times, to cover broad ranges of date years.

I did this not knowing that it will make for a miserable reading of any given day in my calendar as it posts the same event over 10 times. My question is if it's possible to erase the downloaded Hebcal databases, and start from scratch.

Can anyone clarify where Hebcal's databases are stored within the Android (Google PIxel 4) system?

Thank you very much for any help here.

Hebcal events are supported on Android via Google Calendar. If you'd like to remove Hebcal events from your Android device, remove them first from Google Calendar, and then let your Android device sync your Google account.

Hebrew not displaying when downloaded to iPhone

David Nielsen 5 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago 2

Hi, I have set my calendar to include Ashkenazi Transliteration and Hebrew but now for some reason the Hebrew doesn’t show I’m my iPhone calendar. This is only since this week that this problem has occurred. 

Answer

Thanks for the bug report. We recently upgraded our servers and this feature was inadvertently disabled. Our apologies for the oversight.

A change has been deployed and your calendar will be updated in approximately 7 days, or whenever your iPhone next refreshes subscribed calendars.

Asara b'Tevet has two dates, one (I think) in error

Answer
Michael J. Radwin 5 years ago

Although the Tenth of Tevet is an annual observance on the Jewish calendar, its placement around the end of the Gregorian calendar year means that in some Gregorian years, there is no observance of the fast, while in other years, the fast is observed twice. Thus, the Tenth of Tevet does not occur at all in 2019. Instead, the "2019" observance of the fast will take place in January 2020, while the subsequent observance will occur in December 2020
