Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. 

if you are using our web based calendar application, all world cities (based on GeoNames or USA ZIP codes) in our database have a built-in location. There is no way to override the default location for those cities. To enable the elevation option, select the “Include elevation in sunrise/sunset estimate” radio button as displayed in the screenshot on the bottom of this page.

If you are using Hebcal APIs, follow instructions on this page for specifying elevation as part of Option 3

We're sorry to hear that you found an error in your birthday calendar and need to make a correction.

This article describes how to make changes to a Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar that you downloaded, exported or subscribed to in a calendar app like Outlook, Google Calendar / Android, or Apple (iOS, iPhone, iPad or Mac). These instructions apply to personal events such as yahrzeits, Hebrew Birthdays, and Hebrew Anniversaries.

Thanks for using Hebcal!

thank you for the feedback. Our location database currently only supports English language city and country names. For now, we can’t edit this text to say España. 

If you are embedding Shabbat times on your website using our JavaScript, please note that you can use custom CSS to hide the title that contains the Hebcal generated name of the city in the header. 

Thank you, we have fixed this. Please take a look?

Sorry to hear about this difficulty! Can you share the exact URL that your iCal is subscribed to so we can investigate?


We will happily provide further instructions or guidance after we have investigated on our end. 

Alternatively you can try unsubscribing and then making a new subscription.

unsubscribing from iCal is a very simple 2-step process

Users who have visited Sefaria before and set their preferred translation will continue to see their preferred translations every time they come back to Sefaria, whether directly or via Hebcal.

Users who have never been to Sefaria before will see a notice that informs them that multiple translations are available and lets them change their translation.

Calendars created by Hebcal are easily downloaded and imported into various calendar apps, including iPhone, Google Calendar, Outlook PC, Outlook Web, macOS Calendar, and any app that supports iCalendar (.ics) feeds or subscriptions.

If you add your Hebcal events to one of those popular web-based calendars, you should see the same calendar events on all devices that are connected to that calendar app.

Thank you for this feedback!


As you know, Sefaria offers multiple translations of many books in the library which gives you and your students the opportunity to choose your favorite or compare among one or more translations.

Sefaria has a couple of articles that both give instructions for picking your preferred translation and their philosophy on why they offer multiple translations.

https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/383892?lang=bi

Note that if you set your preferred translation while you are logged into Sefaria, you will continue to get that exact translation offered to you every time you return to Sefaria as a logged-in user.

We intend to continue to use the URL linking structure we already use on Hebcal.com, because it lets Sefaria display each user's preferred translation.

The approach you suggest above would force users to always see the 2023 translation, which would be an editorial decision that we do not wish to impose upon our users. We would prefer to let them see the translation of their own choosing.
