Your Hebrew spelling of Chanukah has a Bet where a Kaf should be. Goyim!

Thanks for the feedback. We have always spelled Chanukah correctly as follows:

חֲנוּכָּה

Perhaps the font we were using 3 years ago (Alef) didn't display the Kaf in the way you expected. Here's how it used to look on our website:

We switched to SBL Hebrew about a year ago because we find that serif Hebrew fonts are easier for non-Israelis to read

Not our app. The name isn't trademarked so we can't stop them from using it.

For Parashat Miketz / Rosh Chodesh Tevet on December 8, 2018, Triennial Cycle, you have 8 plus Maftir Aliyot listed. I believe #6 & #7 should be combined as #6.

Hi! The year says 5779. Does the calculation miss out on some Kings reign? We are getting a discrepency of about 248 years. vb5788190@gmail com. I am Vinod.

Need help figuring out a feed using Time.ly

7 years ago • 0

I've been having trouble with Time.ly's csv feed for a few months. Before this, I had everything I need until the end of 2019.

I was thrilled to see I could use Hebcal as a feed, so I selected everything I wanted on my calendar with a starting date of 2020 and imported it into Time.ly with no problem. However, I now have duplicates for 2018 and 2019, very little for 2020, and everything except major holidays for 2021.

Any ideas of what I may have done wrong would be helpful. I can no longer get to the csv feeds, so I'd have to delete things one by one if it comes to that - ugh!

The URL is www.ruach.org/calendar. I don't know if this is something you can help with, or if I need to go back to Time.ly.

Thanks,

Marcy

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.
