Shabbat times REST API bug?

Joseph Dov Kohan 6 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 6 years ago 3

Hi, I'm using the Shabbat times REST API and found that when I send values for b (Candle-lighting time minutes before sunset) it change the construccion of the JSON but keeps the same candle lighting value, I tried with different numbers (mostrly 18 and 40), please advise... thanks!

Thanks for using Hebcal!


We don't guarantee order of the items in JSON or RSS. You really should use a proper library to parse web services APIs and not just string regex.

We have tested the b= parameter and it functions as described in the documentation. We are unable to reproduce the issue you mentioned in your first post.

Is it possible to input anniversary dates in HebCal? In other words, is it possible to set up an annual reminder for an event on 20th Tishrei?

Israeli/Triennal aliyah breakdown?

Rabbi Michael Fessler 7 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 7 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!

Answer

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?
