Candle lighting no longer shows on iOS
Until Friday July 3, the NY candle lighting appeared on my iOS calendar. After that date it no longer shows. Anyone know how to restore it?
Hebrew not displaying when downloaded to iPhone
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.
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
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
Downloaded calendar shows different candle lighting and Havdalah times than online version
I use Hebcal each year to set up the calendar for different schools I work with. This year, I am noticing that when I download the PDF of the calendar and check it against the calendar online, the candle lighting and Havdalah times start off the same in January, but begin to show some 1-minute discrepancies in April and May, increasing throughout June and July, reaching 3-minute discrepancies in August and September, then decreasing again from October through December. It seems like the PDF is being generated using a different set of parameters than the online version.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is this an existing issue with a known workaround or a new issue?
Hi Nathan, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for your message!
Differences of 2 minutes are fully expected and are not considered a bug. Please read this detailed post for more details:

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!
To display a Jewish calendar on your website, you can use event data from Hebcal.com and the open source JavaScript event calendar from fullcalendar.io.
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.
If you know the Hebrew but not the Gregorian date, use the Hebrew Date Converter to get the Gregorian date and then come back to the Yahrzeit and Anniversary page.
In your case, if you already have the Hebrew date, you don't need the exact time of death. When you convert from Hebrew to Gregorian date, you'll want to use the "before sunset" option on the Yahrzeit page to retain the same Hebrew date.
i am attempting to set up a Hebrew calendar in columns in Excel.
I want to use the spreadsheet to record Hebrew history and current events. I have started with Metonic cycle 304 but it is taking me forever. Will you be able to assist me in setting up such a columnar spreadsheet containing all your calendar data? I am planning to eventually include all the cycles in this spreadsheet. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Triennial spreadsheet
I am not able to import the triennial Torah spreadsheet to Microsoft Outlook. Can anyone offer some suggestions.
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. We're sorry to hear that you're having some difficulty with the triennial leyning spreadsheet
We recommend that you download Comma Separated Value (CSV) file from Hebcal and import into Microsoft Excel or some other spreadsheet program. We don't recommend importing these CSV files into Outlook.
hebrew date begins in evening
If the yorzeit is on כ״ה סיון, hebcal says it is June 17 (this year). The question is: since hebrew dates start at sunset, not midnight, then is the date June 17 the day on which the hebrew date starts, or ends?
This is important to people who need to observe the yorzeit exactly on the date.
