Transliteration issue in Ashkenzi+Hebrew

just reporting a cosmetic bug 8 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 8 years ago 2

Hi, thanks for this service!


There is a transliteration issue in the Ashkenazi+Hebrew option. Probably in the Ashkenazi option alone of course but I didn't check it.


Leil Slichot should obviously be Leil Slichos.


Thanks.

I think the Torah reading dates for 2017 are missing, could it be?

Liora Cohen 8 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 2

I tried to see the Torah readings for March 25th, 2017 - Kee Tisah, and there's none, only for February 2016.

Please advise.

Answer

Torah reading for March 25, 2017 was Parashat Vayakhel-Pekudei. We recently redesigned our parsha hashavua pages to make it easier to see Torah readings in the past and future.

Editing text display of Shabbat times

wplove 8 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 8 years ago 1

I'm using the following javascript to display shabbat times on my website:

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


I want to change the display text, however, but don't know how to do it.

For example, I want to change

  • Candle lighting: 8:07pm on Friday, 15 Jul 2016
  • This week's Torah portion is Parashat Chukat
  • Havdalah (50 min): 9:14pm on Saturday, 16 Jul 2016

to:

Is there a way of just generating the times without any of the other text? Or separating the text into distinct sections that I can hide or display? Apologies if you've answered this elsewhere-I'm a bit new to coding API's.

WordPress plug-in

msburgis 8 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 8 years ago 2

When I went to download the HebCal WordPress plug-in, it said it has not been tested with the newest version of WordPress, which makes me a little nervous about using it since the copyright at Hebcal.com is 2011. I am using WordPress 4.5.3 with Headway theme version 3.8.8. Does anyone have experience with this version 4.5.3 of WordPress? Also, is this a regular calendar, or just the dates mentioned? I was looking for an actual calendar that might do Hebrew dates and Jewish Holidays. Thanks.

When did the world begin? How do you know?

Inquiring Mind 9 years ago updated by Liora Cohen 8 years ago 1

Hello, I would like to

know how the Hebrews came up with the year 5776?

How do you figure that exact year?

Did Adam or Eve leave a message as to what year the beginning started?

How do you know? I am not really being funny. I just want an explanation of how someone came up with the exact year that the earth began? Through science? Science claims it is millions of years old which we know it isn't. What? Please respond. I am glad to see the 5776, but how do you know it isn't year 5976 or 5986? How did you figure it? please explain. Inquiring minds would like to know. Thanks for a prompt response.
