Thank you for using Hebcal! To create a personal list of Yahrzeit (memorial) and Yizkor dates for 20+ years, please visit https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit
Tish'a B'Av 5779 seems to be on 20190810
Per the Date Converter, Tish'a B'Av 5779 seems to be on 20190810, and not 20190811, as indicated on at the Holiday pages, https://www.hebcal.com/holidays/tisha-bav. Will someone please investigate and fix if applicable?
When the 9th of Av falls on Shabbat and the Tish’a B’Av fast is postponed to the 10th, the calendar event now says “Tish’a B’Av (observed)”.
Shabbat time are displayed wrong! one hour too late
I prepared a Calendar for אשדוד (Ashdod, Israel), but all the candleLighting/MotzeShabbat times are wrong in summertime! one hour too late (!).
On the website, they're displayed correctly (including summer time). but in the ICS file, you apparently added another hour for the second time!
it seems YOU ADD SUMMER-TIME TWICE!
e.g. it gives the coming shabbat to start at 20:19... instead of 19:19
Google Calendar is not accepting the G-Cal URL or iCal URL
Im trying to add the Hebcal URL but google is not accepting it or adding a new calendar. Did google change something?
Thank You!
Hi, sorry about that, we have removed Palm support from Hebcal. PalmOS devices were discontinued in 2011 and it's time for us to discontinue our support as well.
Hebrew Date Converter REST API request limits...
Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find information regarding limits on requests - for example how many requests can be made per minute, hour, day?
Thanks!
You may receive a 429 “Too Many Requests” error if your client makes more than 90 requests in a 10-second window. Remember, this is a free service; please be polite and send batch API requests slowly over a longer period of time.

cross-origin error in angular
Hi,
I'm trying to convert georgian date to hebrew date via your api but I get this error:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://www.hebcal.com/converter/?cfg=json&gy=2000&gm=12&gd=31&g2h=1' from origin 'http://localhost:4200' has been blocked by CORS policy: Request header field Access-Control-Allow-Origin is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response.
I am using angular observable.
What I need to do?
Cleaning up calendar downloads - Apple devices
A few years ago, in an easy download, I subscribed to Hebcal's Jewish calendar for my apple devices (MacBook pro, iPad, iPhone, all synced). It seemed to roll over from year to year. However recently I noticed, looking ahead to next year, that my Jewish calendar entries (holidays as well as Torah portions) abruptly ended. I went back onto Hebcal to download again, and now somehow I have multiple versions for certain dates, each represented in a different color as a different "calendar" within Apple (one called Jewish Holidays+my location, and two simply called Jewish Holidays). I want to clean this up without losing PAST Jewish holidays. Any suggestions? Also, am I correct that there's no way to contact Hebcal directly about this?
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for your patience!
As you have noticed, calendars exported from Hebcal to Apple or Google Calendar or other services that support iCalendar subscription feeds are typically “perpetual”. That is, they contain events for the current year (Gregorian or Hebrew) plus some number of years into the future. Our calendars typically have 5 years of events (current year plus 4 years into the future).
Subscription feeds are the recommended approach because they are easier to manage (with different alarm options, etc) and because Jewish calendar events can be displayed in a different color.
If you'd like to capture historical holidays from Hebcal and merge them into your personal calendar, this can indeed be done with a little bit of additional export/import effort.
You can visit our https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal page and enter a past year (for example 2015) in the form and then click on the Create Calendar button.
On the calendar results page, click the Download button and note the "Alternate option" text at the very bottom of the Download dialog box.
Alternate option: Download hebcal_2015.ics and then import manually into Apple macOS Calendar.app.
If you click on this link, it will download a file (not a subscription feed) with exactly one year of events, which you can then import into your preferred calendar application.
