Hello, 

I recently upgraded my iPhone and my herbcal calendar went from English to Hebrew. How can I get it back to English?

I do not read Hebrew. 
I would appreciate your help. I love the Torah readings schedule & keeping up with the Hebrew dates in the calendar.

Thanks for your message. What you're seeing in iOS 26 is a feature of Apple's operating system called Alternate Calendars and not something that Hebcal.com controls.

If you don't wish to see the Hebrew date in Hebrew, you can disable the Hebrew calendar on iOS 26 following Apple's instructions:

Change how your calendar is displayed

You can customize the way your calendar is displayed to help highlight the information that’s most important to you. For example, you can choose which day you want to start the week with, display the Chinese, Hebrew, or Hijri calendar (alongside the Gregorian calendar), and more.

  1. Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Apps, then tap Calendar.
  3. Do any of the following:

    • Display the Chinese, Hebrew, or Hijri calendar: Tap Alternate Calendars, then choose a calendar.
    • Display the week number next to every week of the year: Turn on Week Numbers.
    • Show the current day as the first day in Week view: Turn on Week View Starts On Today.
    • Choose a different day to start the week: Tap Start Week On, then tap a day.
