If you wish to use the Israel holiday schedule (and not the Diaspora, which is the default), use &i=on per the documentation. In Israel there is only one day of Yom tov for Shavuot, so there will be no "Shavuot II" event.

Thanks for the suggestion. We can investigate doing some simple analysis of the text and change the English to Hebrew if we detect Hebrew characters in the name.

In the meantime, of you edit the calendar and choose "other" type, the algorithm will use the birthday rules but will not display the year number or "Hebrew Birthday"

Please note that the "other" type is not recommended for Yahrzeit because the rules are a bit more complicated for Yahrzeits occuring in Adar, Cheshvan and Kislev

Thanks for sharing! Very cool!

We have added Mevarchim Chodesh when it occurs to the homepage and Hebrew Date Converter

Thanks for the excellent feedback! We agree that we should list Mevarchim Chodesh more prominently. We'll add this to the to-do list!

If you subscribed to annual email reminders, you can search for an existing Yahrzeit + Anniversary Calendar by email address here:

If you did not subscribe by email, but you created a Yahrzeit list and then subscribed in your calendar app (e.g. Apple, Google, Microsoft Outlook, etc), then you can follow instructions on this page:

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

If there are no events in a month at the beginning or end of a year, the month will appear blank. This can happen in January, for example, when you adjust th calendar settings to disable Rosh Chodesh.

If you wish to see January 2026, be sure to have the Rosh Chodesh and/or Special Shabbatot box checked as follows:

Thanks for the suggestion. To merge a Jewish holiday calendar and a personal Yahrzeit/Anniversary calendar into the same view, we recommend importing your Hebcal events into a separate calendar app.

We provide step-by-step instructions for importing into Apple, Google, Outlook and other calendar apps.

Hi, thanks for contacting Hebcal.

We do not offer an iPhone app for Hebcal just yet. We do offer two options that could be useful to you:

1. Jewish holiday downloads for iPhone

https://www.hebcal.com/home/77/iphone-ipad-jewish-holidays

2. Hebcal app for Apple Watch

https://www.hebcal.com/home/apple-watch

for details about holidays, we recommend you instead use the Jewish Calendar API

https://www.hebcal.com/home/195/jewish-calendar-rest-api

you can control the event types by specifying exactly which holidays you want to see, and when parsing the result you can use the category and subcat fields to understand what types of holiday events the API returns
