Using Hebcal for a physical yahrzeit Board

Micha Moses 2 years ago • updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago • 1

Hello,

In our Synagogue in Amsterdam RAS sjoel - RAS Sjoel we just installed a wooden Yharzeit board. In the small indivual name boards there is a lamp. The idea is that the lamp is switched on 2-3 days before the date and 2-3 after the date switched off. At present we are doing this manually, but we would like to do this automatically. 


In the back of the board we can install a kind of relay wich guides the lamps to switch on the gregorian date using the type of tables that are used by Hebcal/


Questions:

- Anybody having experience with this kind of solution ?

- Does anybody know and /or heard of a similar solution

- Is it possible to use the API.


Any advise and help is very welcome.


Thanks

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.


We are aware of one company that manufactures digital yahrzeit boards and uses the Hebcal API


https://www.yahrzeitronix.com/

You are also welcome to use the Yahrzeit + Anniversary REST API if you wish to build your own solution.
