We've changed Hebcal to match how Google's Holidays in Israel calendar displays the holiday.

https://www.hebcal.com/holidays/yom-haaliyah-school-observance-2021

Yom HaAliyah School Observance (Aliyah Day observed in Israeli schools) for Hebrew Year 5782 occurs at dawn on Wednesday, 13 October 2021.

https://www.hebcal.com/holidays/yom-haaliyah-2022

Yom HaAliyah (Recognizes Aliyah, immigration to the Jewish State of Israel) for Hebrew Year 5782 begins at sundown on Sunday, 10 April 2022 and ends at nightfall on Monday, 11 April 2022.

Amazon Echo date converter

Tamar 7 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 2

Hi guys - I want to convert Hebrew dates into English dates. But whenever I say "Alexa, ask Hebcal to convert 26 Tishrei 5684" or similar, I get "which city or zip code do you want for Shabbos times?" which doesn't help me at all.


Also - could be awesome if you had the tool act as a Hebrew/English (language) translator, not just a date converter.

"Alexa, ask Hebcal - what's the English transaltion for tov?"

"Alexa, ask Hebcal - what's the Hebrew word for good?"


Just a thought... I realize that's gonna be massive htough.

Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion!


Our voice integration with Alexa only offers converting from Gregorian dates to Hebrew. It does not yet offer the inverse conversion. We will need to investigate how well Alexa understands non-English words like Tishrei and Chesvhan.


Regarding language translation, there already appears to be at least one Alexa skill that can do multi-lingual translations:

I change the settings without success

Wenger Jacques 8 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 2

I am using Lumia 640 Windows 10 phone.

I made a shortcut to your Hebrew calendar. I changed the settings to have the Hebrew dates

I did save the settings but those settings are forgotten as soon I close the website.

Do you intend to adapt your beautiful programs for Windows Phone?

On Shabbat Rosh Chodesh Chanukah

    Aliyot for special Shabbatot that include three Sifrei Torah have been improved. We read from three Sifrei Torah when Rosh Chodesh coincides with Shabbat HaCodesh, Shabbat Shekalim or Shabbat Chanukah. Although some minyanim have the custom of reading 8 aliyot, we now take the more common approach of including the typical 7 aliyot for Shabbat. The 1st Sefer Torah is for regular Torah reading (aliyot 1-6), the 2nd Sefer Torah is read for the 7th aliyah for Rosh Chodesh (Numbers 28:9-15) and the 3rd Sefer Torah is read for the maftir aliyah (the special Shabbat).

    Hide past holiday dates

    wplove 8 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 2

    On my hebcal installation on my site it is displaying candle lighting and Havdalah times for multiple dates, some of which have past a couple days ago. These correspond to the holidays (Erev Rosh Hashana, Rosh Hashana 7777, Rosh Hashana II, Tzom Gedaliah, and Shabbat Shuva). I don't want the times displaying for dates that have passed, even if they are holidays. Is showing the holidays that have passed a bug or a feature of Hebcal? If a feature, is there a setting I can change to hide the past holiday dates?

    This is what I am using on my html to display the times:

    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"
    src="//www.hebcal.com/shabbat/?geo=geoname&geonameid=5128581&m=50&cfg=j&tgt=_top">
    </script>


    Thanks for your help.

    This looks like a caching issue on our end. We have adjusted our settings so the Shabbat Times javascript will be cached at most 24 hours in the future.
