Anniversary API input based on Hebrew Date

Mal Sokol 4 days ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 1 day ago 1

The current API for calculating Yahrzeit anniversaries uses  Gregorian dates which requires a sundown setting.  Please provide a similar API using Hebrew date input since this is well defined.  If I have a Hebew Date and do not  know the particulars of the Gregorian date,  there can be two possible English dates to input to get the list of anniversaries.  The alternative is  used Heb ro Greg converter and loop through a number of years which is inconvenient and Hebrew input to get  a list of years in one calc would be great.

Thanks for the suggestion. Effective December 2025, we now support Hebrew dates in the Yahrzeit API as an alternative to Gregorian dates:


  • hyX=5749 – Hebrew year
  • hmX=Kislev – Hebrew month
  • hdX=25 – Hebrew day of month

Hebrew month names may be specified in Hebrew (UTF-8) or transliterated using the same technique as on the Hebrew Date Converter REST API.


Please give it a try and let us know how it works for you!
