Hello, thanks for using Hebcal. The 11 of Sivan begins Thursday night at sundown, and the majority of 11 Sivan is in fact on Friday.

Add language option for the date REST API
Hi,
I'm currently building an Android app using your REST API, mainly to get the date in hebrew.
However, with each request comes a list of "events" like omer day, parashat of the week, etc.
But the events are described in english.
I'd like to request a language option, since i'm builing an app for french people.
I could help you with the translation.
Thanks in advance,
Hillel Saal

Please see that the parasha is not currect!

This API is behaving correctly for Diaspora.
To get parasha haShavua via API for Israel, please use this advanced API

Workaround for removing merged Hebcal events in your main event calendar.
First, SHAME ON YOU for providing an easy destructive install! It's inexcusable. This should not be an option at all. Your instructions for removal didn't entirely work on MacOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra), probably because High Sierra reformats the hard drive. Here's what DOES work:
1. Select the merged calendar and Search for "hebcal" and delete. (On High Sierra, this removed very little.)
2. Delete remaining items using successive searches that capture multiple items—e.g., month names (Iyyar, Adar, Sh'vat, etc.) and other items (Omer). In a short time, you can clean up the calendar.
P.S. I've been a UX Designer for many years. Allowing a destructive install breaks a primary rule for good behavior. The fact that the calendar is free just means that you provide no support. Shame! At least update your removal instructions to include this workaround
Shabbat and holidays parasha list in combobox
Hello,
I am using PHP and I need to display the list of shabbat parasha with the holidays of an entire hebrew year in a combobox. can anyone help me find the right code for that
Thanks for the clarification. You can definitely use this API to get exactly what you want. Just specify nx=off&nh=off&s=on
candle lighting
How do I get the actual candle lighting time to show as the event instead of 'candle lighting'?
It used to be this way for me but I recently unsubscribed and resubscribed and I can't figure out how to make it to the way it was.
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!
To display candle-lighting times in your desktop/web/mobile calendar, you'll find different instructions depending on your calendar program (Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple, etc) here
Jewish + US local holidays
Is it possible to include both Jewish holidays as well as US National holidays for a download to print the calendar?
I tried but did not succeed. Only Jewish days were marked...
Hi, thanks for your message, and thanks for using Hebcal!
If you'd like to show US holidays on a calendar alongside Hebcal events, we'd recommend downloading from Hebcal into a calendar application such as Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar (on macOS or iOS).
You'll find instructions on how to download here: https://www.hebcal.com/home/category/import
