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 the calendar is an official Hebcal feed, you will see a section called "URL" and you would see something starting with http://download.hebcal.com/...

6. If the calendar is coming from another Google user, you'll see an "Owner" section that looks like "example@gmail.com"

7. 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.

8. 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!

Is there a way to download an editable-version of HebCal that I can manipulate in Publisher?

You can unsubscribe/remove the original calendar and then re-download from Hebcal with the updated options.

shabbat shuvah haftarah

ravjeremy 5 years ago 0

I note that you designate the Haftarah of Shabbat Shuvah as comprising all three of the selections from Hosea, Micah, and Joel.  But that apparently wasn't a widespread traditional haftarah selection, and may be current solely based on a misunderstanding of the intent of the Hertz Humash.  See the article, "The Haftarot of Etz Hayim: Exploring the Historical Interplay of Customs, H.umashim, and Halakhah" by Rabbi David E. S. Stein in  Conservative Judaism 54/3 (Spring 2002)

This can happen when you set up Hebcal in one timezone, then switch to another.

Our recommendation is to remove all of your Hebcal events and then re-download.

Outlook Mac:

Outlook Windows - subscription:
