Hi Izzy,
Thanks so much for your patience, and sorry for the frustration this has caused — especially since we know you’ve genuinely tried everything on your end (the davening included, which we appreciate!).
Since Amazon released Alexa+, the older Alexa skills infrastructure that Hebcal relied on has largely stopped functioning correctly, and unfortunately this is outside of our control. We’ve spent considerable time trying to debug and fix the integration, but at this point we don’t believe it’s fixable on our end.
We’re sorry to say the Hebcal Alexa skill may need to be retired. We know this is disappointing news, especially for something you relied on regularly.
In the meantime, you can still get Hebcal info via:
We’ll update this thread if anything changes with Amazon’s platform that makes the skill viable again. Thanks again for your patience and for flagging this.
