Israeli/Triennal aliyah breakdown?

Rabbi Michael Fessler 6 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 6 years ago 1

Hi - I've noticed that you have pregenerated CSV files of aliyah-by-aliyah breakdowns for full kriyah (Israel + Diaspora) and triennial (Diaspora only). Would it be possible to also generate breakdowns for Israel/Triennial? Most Reconstructionist synagogues do 1-day chag and use the triennial cycle, so it would be extremely helpful to have this combination available. Thanks!

Our Aliyah-by-Aliyah triennial readings are only for the Diaspora. Unfortunately, the Rabbinical Assembly's document does not describe how to handle combined Torah readings in Israel.


For example, in the 3-year cycle that began in 5771, in Israel,

  • Behar-Bechukotai were read separately in 5771
  • Behar-Bechukotai were read separately in 5772
  • Behar-Bechukotai were read together in 5773


The 3-year pattern of separate, separate, together (S-S-T) does not appear on page 403 of the document.


In the Diaspora, which the document covers, 

  • Behar-Bechukotai were read separately in 5771
  • Behar-Bechukotai were read together in 5772
  • Behar-Bechukotai were read together in 5773


The 3-year pattern of S-T-T is cycle variation C on page 403, so we can publish it correctly.


This problem occurs with the other combined parshiyot as well. For example, Matot-Masei is S-T-S in Israel in 5774, 5775, and 5776 (the current cycle) but S-T-T in Diaspora. S-T-T is indeed covered on page 410, but S-T-S (for Israel) is not provided.


I am not aware of a source for triennial readings in Israel. If you know of such a source, please share it?

dates mostly missing in 'fullkriyah-5779.csv'

Linda B 6 years ago updated 6 years ago 1

On the 'fullkriyah-5779.csv' file showing all the torah readings for the year, the date is shown as ######## for most of the entries. Is there an updated version with all the dates?

Thanks very much,

I've clicked the items I want in the calendar and have gone to the iCalendar box and clicked it but nothing happens. Would it work if I used Mac OS and then let iCloud transfer the information to my iPad? Thanks, Deanna

Thanks Aaron! Looking forward to experimenting with that.


Amy, just pushed out version 1.7 of the widget to fix the HTTP/HTTPS issue that had broken our previous wordpress plugin.

How to add a new birthday to an existing HebCal/Google calendar

HPB 6 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 1

I have an existing +/- year-old HebCal calendar. Recently had a new granddaughter. How do I add her birthday to an already existing list (which is 'full')?

Answer

Hi, thanks for the feedback!

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.

We choose to add the Erev for major holidays, but don't typically add Erev for a minor holiday like Tu B'Av.
