I've tried downloading ics, subscribing. The calendar displayed on the screen is correct but the downloaded contents do not include 2026.

Hi, thanks for writing to Hebcal. We're sorry to hear that you're having difficulty getting a 2026 calendar on your device.

Calendars exported from Hebcal via our subscription feeds (using iCalendar format) are typically “perpetual”. That is, they contain events for the current year (Gregorian or Hebrew) plus some number of years into the future. Most downloads (including Apple, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook) support these perpetual calendar subscription feeds.

When you create a custom calendar on Hebcal.com, you are presented with a dialog box that look like the screenshot below. Even if you enter a future year like 2026, you'll see text that says something like this (highlighted in yellow in the screenshot below):

This subscription is a 4-year perpetual calendar feed with events for the current year (2025) plus 3 future years.

You will also see a grey button that says something like Download 2026 only (highlighted in orange in the screenshot below). Click that button to download a 1-year .ics file and then import it into your calendar app, taking care to create a separate calendar and import Hebcal events into that new, separate calendar (lest you unintentionally add hundreds of events to your personal calendar).

Most users prefer the perpetual calendar feed because it's much easier to use and they can subscribe once and the calendar will be up-to-date for many years to come.

so removing the Daily Learning DID work but now I'm missing that data. Any suggestions?

@michael, looks like the culprit is when selecting "Daily Learning" then the message says 0 future years" but when I remove that then it says "1" future year.

@michael, thanks for the response, which seems to be the same as the response to another poster last year. However, I don't get that experience rather the message says "This subscription is a 1-year perpetual calendar feed with events for the current year (2025) plus 0 future years."
I have no issue if the perpetual method works but for a decade or more, I've found that the manual ics is the only method that works. Either is fine. Can you please advise?
