Developing a website in Russian...

Thanks for the clarification.

Actually, we haven't updated those APIs for any language, including Russian.


You might be able to query the Hebcal Events JSON API via JavaScript to be able to get what you're looking for. Here's an example URL that will pull the Hebrew date for every day for the current month. 

https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal/?v=1&cfg=json&year=now&month=now&lg=ru&d=on

This isn't an easy API to consume - you would have to scan the items in the results and find the one that matched today and then extract out the title.

A better approach might be to query the date converter API from JavaScript as such

https://www.hebcal.com/converter/?cfg=json

And then render the date in Russian using your own translation map (for example showing "Нисан" instead of "Nisan")

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

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.


To avoid storing sensitive user data on our servers, Hebcal.com recently modified our Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar export to “download” instead of “subscribe” calendars. This change affects Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendars created on Hebcal beginning in January 2014, and it applies across iOS, Mac Desktop, Microsoft Outlook, etc.

Select All?

Is it possible to add a 'select all' box under 'Customize, print & download your calendar of Jewish holidays'? This way, you don't have to check every single box individually.

It looks like there was only one Shabbat Chanukah in 1949, and that was Parashat Vayeshev. You can click the page to find out the Torah & Haftorah.

Can't Set Jewish Holidays Alerts (Reminder Changes By Itself Afterwards Too)

essiocolom 6 years ago 0

Hi guys,

First of all, iPhone seems to have an issue on showing all-day events on the Calendar widget (haven't found a workaround that doesn't need to install other app). So I thought, well, I'll just add a reminder to all events and it's done.

Of course, I went to Calendar setting and for Default Alert Times I deactivated them: None.


When I go to an event and add a reminder, it won't show in the widget. Then, it will automatically change the reminder to none by itself. So, it seems it doesn't work when I set up a reminder (like 2 days before) and then it also changes the reminder to none. 

You can see a video of this here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o1xafro8agmbg3q/video-1547901236.mp4?dl=0

Cheers!

Sephardic custom when Yahrzeit falls on Adar

Omid 6 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 4 years ago 2


https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit/


My understanding is that, for Sephardic Jews, all anniversaries (including Yahrzeit) that occurred on Adar, are observed on Adar II (Adar sheni) on leap years. This is different from the Ashkenazi custom as is briefly explained here:

https://www.hebcal.com/home/54/anniversaries-adar-cheshvan-kislev

It would be great to

1.) For such dates, add a note/warning at the top of the page.

2.) Eventually, offer a setting on this page to switch to Sephardic version.


Thank you
