Default "Holiday Schedule"

adam 8 years ago 0

Would it be possible to read locale,tz information from my request and default to "Israel holiday schedule" instead of defaulting to "Diaspora holiday schedule"? Currently when I click Get Calendar it always uses "Diaspora" and then I need to change it.


Alternatively, please just default to Israel since it is now the world's largest Jewish Community.


Thanks

Labels for events

When I subscibe to Hebcal, the times for Shabbat candle-lighting and Havdalah are shown as "busy." On a different subscription account, the names are correctly stated. How can I change the "busy" to the correct names for the events?

How do you pronounce "hebcal?" Is it h-e-b-c-al or h-e-e-b-c-a-l?

sukkot chol ha mo'ed Torah portions

RabbiMeirah 8 years ago 0

I am trying to figure out the Torah reading for a person who died Oct. 21 2016. It is Sukkot, Chol ha Moed day 3 (5th day of Sukkot.) I am finding two problems. 1. In the calendar, the days of Sukkot are listed, I through VII, noting which ones are Chol ha Mo'ed. When I go to the Torah portions, the designation for what "day" it is is listed a little differently. Then, for my day in question, The final aliyah seems to go back and repeat a previous aliyah, but not the one directly previous. I don't know how to toggle between this page and the relevant Hebcal page to check while I am writing this to you. These things confuse me a lot, so I would like another's eyes to check it out. Thanks!
