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!
Glad you were able to get this worked out!
Yes, we discovered a DNS error and fixed it last night. Our sincere apologies!
can you send a screenshot? We don’t see any errors
when using the API, to get the next occurrence, omit the start and end parameters, and specify years=2. Then, in the returned results, examine the date in the first item. If the date is before today, then ignore the first item and use the second item. If the date of the first item is today or later, then the first item is the next upcoming observance.
Thanks for your question. We do not plan to offer moon cycles and eclipses. Hebcal's mission is to increase awareness of Jewish holidays and to help Jews to be observant of the mitzvot.
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.
Thanks for your question. We do not plan to offer USA or other country-specific holidays, nor do we plan to offer any secular holidays. Hebcal's mission is to increase awareness of Jewish holidays and to help Jews to be observant of the mitzvot.
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.
Google and other calendar software providers already offer United States holidays. You can subscribe to the United States holidays iCalendar feed here:

And Apple similarly provides their own holiday calendar feed:

Thanks, this is helpful.
It looks like Chabad.org also publishes in the shortened English style:

Maybe it's a caching issue on your end? Try an incognito browser window? We see a Russian language Jewish calendar when we visit that page
