I wish there was a way to eliminate the holiday descriptions! It takes up too much space on my phone's calendar.

Thanks for the additional detail on the CalenGoo app.

Although we don't have an ability to toggle descriptions on/off, here is the workaround we can suggest:

1. Create your custom calendar at https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal

2. Download as Legacy CSV format as described in the first few steps on this page https://www.hebcal.com/home/12/outlook-csv-jewish-holidays

3. Open the CSV file in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or another spreadsheet app

4. Remove the description column and save the .csv file


5. Upload that modified .csv file to Google Calendar using a variation of the instructions described on this page (replacing .ics with .csv file) https://www.hebcal.com/home/59/google-calendar-alternative-instructions

6. Sync CalenGoo with Google Calendar - you will no longer see holiday descriptions

I'm using an iPhone 15 and my calendar is an app called CalenGoo that syncs with the Google calendar.  I highlighted, in bold text, what takes up so much room on my calendar.  I don't need the explanations.  I learned all that in synagogue!  😊


Pesach IV (CH" M)

Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Also called Chag HaMatzot (the Festival of Matzah), it commemorates the Exodus and freedom of the Israelites from ancient Egypt

Torah: Exodus 22:24-23:19; Numbers 28:19-25

What kind of phone and calendar app are you using? Can you send us a screenshot so we can see what you mean by "the holiday descriptions take up too much space on my phone's calendar?"
