Pesach Sheni occurs every year on 14 Iyar (not 15 Iyar). This is exactly one month after 14 Nisan, the day before Passover, which was the day prescribed for bringing the Korban Pesach ("Paschal offering", i.e. Passover lamb) in anticipation of that holiday.
in other words, our dates for Pesach Sheni are correct. We are sorry if there is any confusion. We do not list Erev Pesach Sheni on the website
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:
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".

Thanks for your question.
For Matot-Masei 5785, here are the Haftarah:
Haftarah for Ashkenazim*: Jeremiah 2:4-28, 3:4 · 26 p’sukim
*Matot-Masei on Shabbat Rosh Chodesh
Haftarah for Sephardim*: Jeremiah 2:4-28, 4:1-2; Isaiah 66:1, 66:23 · 29 p’sukim
*Matot-Masei on Shabbat Rosh Chodesh
This is the case in general when a special haftarah supercedes another special haftarah. Sephardim add the first and last verse of the superceded haftarah. Ashkenazim generally do not.
there are some Ashkenazim who follow this practice as well, but the prevalent Ashknezic practice is not to add these verses. This is the opinion of Rabbi Joel Roth, who is the posek for the Rabbi Miles Cohen Luah. In general the Hebcal website accords with the Ashkenazic traditions explained by these experts.
