HebCal does not list Adar I or Adar II

-DG- 2 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago 1

A relative of mine passed on March 17, 1968.  My family yahrzeit list says it was Adar II, but when verifying the dates in HebCal, the system does not indicate it was Adar II.  Is the system supposed to indicate whether there was a leapyear that  year, and show Adar I or Adar II.  If not, this is an essential feature.

Hi, thanks for using the Hebcal Hebrew/Gregorian date converter.

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?gd=17&gm=3&gy=1968&g2h=1

Sun, 17 March 1968 (before sunset) = 17th of Adar, 5728


Hebrew year 5728 was not a leap year (note month: Adar).

Since Hebrew Year 5728 was not a leap year, our converter page displays "Adar" as there is no ambiguity about the month of Adar in a non-leap year.
