Hi, thanks for the feedback.
We've made changes to how our API works and Chanukah candle-lighting times will no longer suppress regular Shabbat/Havdalah times. Here's an example to illustrate how the API now behaves (with 2 events on Friday night and 2 events on Saturday night).

a question about candle lighting times
Is there a way of downloading a calendar without the candle lighting times?

Earliest candle lighting time in summer?

Rosh Hashana/Yom Kippur

Hebrew Date JS not working?

If your website uses https, you'll need to reference hebcal URLs using the same protocol.
We've updated our script tags to use // instead of http://. See the updated HTML you should use at this page:

Getting just the parshat hashavua from a Hebrew or gregorian date using REST API
I was wondering if there is a way to get just the Parshat Hashavua for a given hebrew or gregorian date, the way it tells you that info when you go to the date converter https://www.hebcal.com/converter/
I ask because I made a google doc that if you input an Gregorian date it will tell you when the earliest Gregorian date is for a bar or bat mitzvah:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_F1qHbJsZTLk6p8_QYWha7dnlcEHokuMHA1Rjx3nMqI/edit#gid=539710776
and I was wondering if I can also easily get another column to be the parsha for that date

The XML version now includes the parashat haShavua.
https://www.hebcal.com/converter/?cfg=xml&gd=28&gm=12&gy=2015&g2h=1
<hebcal> <gregorian year="2015" month="12" day="28"/> <hebrew year="5776" month="Tevet" day="16" str="ט״ז בְּטֵבֵת תשע״ו"/> <events> <event name="Parashat Shemot" href="http://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/shemot"/> </events> </hebcal>

year in default
my calender automatically defaults to 2014, even when I put the current ( in this case 2016) in the settings box how can the default of 2014 be elimanited

Yahrzeit Candle app not posting to facebook, setting changes not saved
I didn't check my email this past weekend and I don't see the items posted to my timeline and I missed the Yahrzeit lighting for my mother. I went back to the app to recheck the settings and the Facebook was unchecked AGAIN. I placed a check in it and went back to Facebook and then went back to the app and the check was once again removed.
There is no save setting button so how do I get the app to save the setting changes I make?

Although we don't offer any Facebook integration, we now offer annual email reminders for our Yahrzeit, Birthday and Anniversary calendar. After entering and confirming your email address, you will receive a reminder email 7 days before each anniversary. Our email privacy policy is the same as for our Shabbat weekly email list: We will never sell or give your email address to anyone. We will never use your email address to send you unsolicited offers.
In addition, Yahrzeit and anniversary calendar downloads for Apple, Google & Outlook now support more than 3 names. Just click the “+ Add another name” button to create another row and enter the additional details.

Please add Kfar Hananya, Israel to your Shabbat times list.Thank you -rafi schutzer
