Some Parshiyot missing

Beisee 12 months ago • updated 12 months ago • 4

Hi

I'm enjoying your moduls very much!! Thank you!!!

On this modul https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal?parshat&v=1&cfg=json&s=on&leyning=off&date={{now}}&lg=a

I noticed now that the Parshas Hashavua of this week, Parshas Vayigash (פרשת ויגש), Vaychi (פרשת ויחי) & (פרשת וזאת הברכה) don't apear. It gives 49 Parshiyot instead of 52

Please check

Thank you!

thanks for your message. You are correct that Parashat Vayechi is not read during the Gregorian year 2024. This is not a bug. Parashat Vayechi is read once every Hebrew year but is not guaranteed to be read during every Gregorian year.

Note the dates that the parsha is read below, and you will see that although it is read once every Hebrew year, it is sometimes read twice in the same Gregorian year and not at all in the following Gregorian year.

Parashat Vezot Habracha is not read on Shabbat. Instead it is read during Simchat Torah.

If you want parshiyot for current Hebrew year, use &year=now&yt=H


Here is an excerpt from the documentation, note the meaning of the "yt" parameter


Date

Date range may be specified either using year or both start and end:

  • year=now – “now” for current year, or 4-digit YYYY such as 2003
    • yt=G – Interpret year as Gregorian year (common era) – default
    • yt=H – Interpret year as Hebrew year (e.g. 5782)

For more details please read the APi documentation

So it's read this year twice on 7 Jan 2023 & 30 Dec 2023. But the modul does not give it even once?

Is there a query wich will get the parshiyot of the Hebrew year?

Thanks
