Because YK is a major holiday and not a minor fast, we treat it the same as other major holidays. To find fast start and end times, use the Candle lighting event that corresponds to Erev Yom Kippur, and the Havdalah event immediately following Yom Kippur

The JSON snippet you posted looks correct. What is the bug you are trying to report? How is the software behaving in a way that is contrary to documentation or to your expectations?

The issue is fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks again. We have added the schedule to Hebcal.com, you'll find it here:

https://www.hebcal.com/ical/

https://www.hebcal.com/learning

https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal?v=1&dr3=on&year=now&set=off

Thank you for the suggestion! We will look into adding this daily learning calendar. 

Pesach sameach!

To retrieve the name of the parashat haShavua, we recommend you use the Jewish calendar REST API – a JSON interface for fetching Jewish calendar data (holidays, Torah readings, candle lighting times, etc).

For just an individual Shabbat:

https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal?v=1&cfg=json&maj=off&s=on&leyning=off&start=2025-04-26&end=2025-04-26

For an entire year:

https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal?v=1&cfg=json&maj=off&s=on&leyning=off&year=now

If you need the actual Torah reading details, use the Leyning (Torah Reading) API – full kriyah leyning on Shabbat and holidays, Triennial (optionally) for Shabbat, and weekday readings on Mondays & Thursdays.

Thanks for the additional detail on the CalenGoo app.

Although we don't have an ability to toggle descriptions on/off, here is the workaround we can suggest:

1. Create your custom calendar at https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal

2. Download as Legacy CSV format as described in the first few steps on this page https://www.hebcal.com/home/12/outlook-csv-jewish-holidays

3. Open the CSV file in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or another spreadsheet app

4. Remove the description column and save the .csv file

5. Upload that modified .csv file to Google Calendar using a variation of the instructions described on this page (replacing .ics with .csv file) https://www.hebcal.com/home/59/google-calendar-alternative-instructions

6. Sync CalenGoo with Google Calendar - you will no longer see holiday descriptions

Sorry, we're not familiar with the concept of the "lords meal with the apostles".

Hebcal (pronounced HEEB-kal, as in Hebrew calendar) is a free Jewish calendar and holiday web site.

Our mission is to increase awareness of Jewish holidays and to help Jews to be observant of the mitzvot.

What kind of phone and calendar app are you using? Can you send us a screenshot so we can see what you mean by "the holiday descriptions take up too much space on my phone's calendar?"

There is no year 0 (zero) in the Gregorian calendar. If you enter 0, this is interpreted as 1 BCE. If you enter a negative number like -1, this is interpreted to be 2 BCE. The year -99 is interpreted to be the year 100 BCE.

Also, please note: results for year 1752 C.E. and earlier are guaranteed to be inaccurate.

Hebcal does not take into account a correction of ten days that was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII known as the Gregorian Reformation. ^[1]
