Hi Emily, so sorry! Sounds like an Outlook bug. 

One more thing you could try - there is a legacy CSV format and that might work for uploading into your department calendar? Worth a try?

Hi Emily,

Thanks for checking so carefully, and for explaining that this is for the department calendar. That helps a lot.

Since there's nothing at all after Chanukah 2026 (no Purim, Pesach or Rosh Hashana), I don't think the Hebcal calendar is actually showing. Outlook's own built-in holiday list ends in December 2026, so I suspect those are the events you're seeing. Our feed has holidays through at least 2029.

There's one more catch for a department calendar. In Outlook, a calendar you add with "Subscribe from web" belongs only to you. It can't be attached to a shared calendar, so your colleagues wouldn't see it anyway.

For a shared calendar, I'd import the multi-year file directly:

  1. Download https://download.hebcal.com/ical/jewish-holidays.ics to your computer.
  2. In Outlook on the web, choose Add calendar > Upload from file.
  3. Select the file, pick the department calendar as the destination, and click Import.

That adds several years of holidays at once, so you'd only need to repeat it every few years.

If you'd still like to check the subscription in your own Outlook, look in the left-hand calendar list for one called "Jewish Holidays" and make sure it's checked.

Kind regards,

Hi Emily,

Thanks for following up, and I'm sorry my earlier reply was confusing. You're right: that is a 10-year perpetual feed. I just checked https://download.hebcal.com/ical/jewish-holidays.ics and it includes Purim on March 23, 2027, Pesach starting April 21, 2027, and holidays well beyond that.

I think you're seeing a quiet stretch on the calendar. The "major holidays only" feed leaves out minor holidays, fast days and Rosh Chodesh. So after the 8th day of Chanukah (December 12, 2026), the next event is Erev Purim on March 22, 2027. 5787 is a leap year with two months of Adar, so Purim comes later than usual and the gap is longer.

Could you try this?

1. In Outlook, jump ahead to March 2027 and look for Purim.
2. If you'd also like events in January and February (such as Tu BiShvat on January 23, 2027), subscribe to the full Jewish Holidays (all holidays) feed at https://www.hebcal.com/ical/ instead.

Outlook's own built-in holiday lists do stop at the end of 2026, which may be what you saw at first.

If March 2027 is empty too, please tell me which Outlook you use (Windows, Mac or Outlook.com) and whether you subscribed or opened the file, and I'll take a closer look.

Kind regards,

Hi Emily,

Thanks for writing, and sorry for the trouble. Hebcal calendars for Outlook include several years of holidays, so if yours stops at Chanukah 2026, the calendar was probably added as a one-time download for a single year, or Outlook is still showing its own built-in holiday calendar.

The most reliable approach is to subscribe, so the calendar stays connected to Hebcal and keeps updating:

  1. Go to https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal, choose your options and click Create Calendar.
  2. Click Download… and choose the Outlook option for your version.
  3. Follow the prompts to subscribe.

Step-by-step instructions: Outlook for Windows https://www.hebcal.com/home/8/outlook-ics-jewish-holidays, and Outlook.com / Outlook for Mac https://www.hebcal.com/home/3867/outlook-for-microsoft-365-for-mac-jewish-holidays-download

If 2027 still doesn't appear, please let us know which version of Outlook you use and paste the calendar link you added, and we'll take a look.

Kind regards,
Hebcal Support

Hi, thanks for the suggestion! We'll take a look at TorahSages and consider adding it to https://www.hebcal.com/home/498.

Hi Michael,


Thanks for reaching out, and for being a long-time user of our calendar feeds.


The new perpetual feed is available at https://www.hebcal.com/ical/. As you noticed, it shows the Hebrew year only on the first day of each month (for example, 1 Cheshvan 5787), and the remaining days show just the day and month (for example, 17 Cheshvan).


I'm sorry to say we don't currently offer a perpetual version that includes the Hebrew year on every day. We chose this format to keep the calendar uncluttered and to keep the feed size manageable.


Thank you for your understanding, and please let us know if there's anything else we can help with.


Kind regards,
Hebcal Support

Good news, it's available now!

You can view the calendar on our Daily Learning page or see a yearly view here:

https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal?v=1&dtn=on&start=2026-10-01&end=2027-12-31&set=off

And a dedicated download feed is available at https://www.hebcal.com/ical/

Yes, we can work to get a schedule online before the start of the next cycle 

If you downloaded and merged events with your personal calendar, you could end up with duplicates. 

If you follow our recommended instructions for a perpetual feed, you won’t get duplicates: https://www.hebcal.com/home/77/iphone-ipad-jewish-holidays

you can always delete your existing Hebcal calendars and subscribe again: https://www.hebcal.com/home/221/ios-iphone-ipad-delete



Hi ShaiR,


Thanks for writing, and sorry for the trouble. Events missing for a single year, with the years before and after still showing, usually means the calendar was downloaded as a one-time file (so it is detached from our updates) rather than added as a subscription feed. A subscribed feed stays connected to Hebcal and keeps updating on its own, covering multiple years.


Here is how to subscribe directly from your iPhone or iPad:

1. Open Safari and go to https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal (or https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit for a Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar).

2. Fill out the form with your preferences and tap Create Calendar.

3. Tap Download…, then choose the Apple option.

4. Tap "Subscribe on iPhone, iPad & macOS".

5. Tap Subscribe on the "Add Subscription Calendar" dialog, review the details, then tap Add and Done.

If the events are still missing afterward, or you would like a clean start, you can delete your existing Hebcal calendars and subscribe again. This page explains how to find and remove them: https://www.hebcal.com/home/221/ios-iphone-ipad-delete

Please let us know how it goes, or if you get stuck at any step. We are happy to help.
