Hi Aron,

Thanks for writing in! To help troubleshoot, we first need to identify the exact Hebcal calendar URL you're subscribed to, since the options you chose when generating it (e.g. how many years of events to include) are encoded in the URL itself.

Here's how to find it:

**On iPhone or iPad:**

1. Open the **Settings** app

2. Tap **Calendar → Accounts → Subscribed Calendars**

3. Tap the Hebcal calendar in the list

4. The URL in the **Server** field is your feed URL — please copy it and share it with us

The server/URL field shown there is the exact download.hebcal.com URL you subscribed to. We need the full URL to help diagnose the issue.

**If you set it up with iCloud as the location**, the URL may be easier to find on a Mac:

1. Open the **Calendar** app on your Mac

2. In the left sidebar, right-click (or Ctrl-click) the Hebcal subscribed calendar

3. Choose **Get Info**

4. Copy the full URL shown there

Once you share the URL with us, we can check exactly which calendar was generated and whether it needs to be recreated with a longer date range. The most common cause of a calendar ending around Shavuot is that a one-year URL was generated rather than an ongoing subscription — and that's easy to fix!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback! We completely understand the importance of Android support, especially for users in Israel.

We want to clarify that Hebcal is a website, not an app, so we’re not tied to any particular platform or ecosystem. We actually do support Android users through Google Calendar sync, which works great on Android devices.

We have step-by-step instructions for syncing Jewish holidays to your Android calendar here:

https://www.hebcal.com/home/206/android-calendar-jewish-holidays-download

Could you take a look at those instructions and let us know at which step you’re running into trouble? We’d be happy to help you get it working!

Best regards

problem resolved

thank you so very much

Thanks for your message. Has it been more than 48 hours since you made the change on Hebcal.com?

If you previously subscribed to the Hebcal calendar via a 3rd party calendar app such as Google Calendar, you do not need to resubscribe to the calendar feed. Any changes you make on the Hebcal.com website will automatically be updated in the calendar feed and show up in your 3rd party calendar app, typically about 24 hours after the change is made on the Hebcal.com site.

If it's been more than 48 hours and you still don't see the new yahrzeit events showing up on Google calendar, please send a private email message to mradwin@hebcal.com with the iCalendar feed URL (which should look something like https://download.hebcal.com/v3/01gpd9fghmq5hg9y563p14fwfy/personal.ics ) for additional debuggig

No, sfirat haomer is NOT changed by the tzeit time. The Shabbat Times API results will change once per WEEK, not once per DAY, every Sunday at midnight in the city’s local time zone

If you need the omer for today, you will need to first fetch the time of tzeit (and there are multiple options) for Tel Aviv using the Zmanim API and then you should compare that with the local time in Tel Aviv. Then, construct second URL for the Jewish calendar REST API (not the Shabbat Times API) and fetch the omer data for today.

Here's a vibe-coded version in JavaScript that you can see for yourself

Thanks for your question. We don't offer a dedicated parsha widget, but you can do something like this using our API

Thanks for the feedback; this short description comes directly from Wikipedia and was out of sync with the current Wikipedia page. It has been updated to the latest version of Wikipedia:

Yom HaZikaron laShoah ve-laG’vurah (Hebrew: יום הזיכרון לשואה ולגבורה, lit. ’Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day’), known colloquially in Israel and abroad as Yom HaShoah (Hebrew: יום השואה, Yiddish: יום השואה) and in English as Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Holocaust Day, is Israel’s day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust by Nazi Germany and its allies, and for the Jewish resistance in that period. In Israel, it is a national Memorial day, but several Jewish communities around the world observe the day as well. The first official commemorations took place in 1951, and the observance of the day was anchored in a law passed by the Knesset in 1959. It is held on the 27th of Nisan (which falls in April or May), unless the 27th would be adjacent to the Jewish Sabbath, in which case the date is shifted by a day.

Hi, we haven't been able to add this yet, but we did want to tell you that we added Dirshu Amud Yomi calendar

If you're using our Shabbat Times REST API the documentation says: "This API generates results for a given location on a rolling weekly time window. Weekly calculations change every Sunday at midnight in the city’s local time zone."

If your system is in Israel and you are requesting candle lighting times for a city in Israel, it will be synchronized to the timezone Asia/Jerusalem. If your system is in Israel and you were requesting candle lighting times for Paris, France, then it would be synchronized to timezone Europe/Paris.

The Shabbat Times API uses a similar URL and response format as our full Jewish calendar REST API, but offers less control over the dates and times. If you find you want more fine-grained control over the date ranges, or what kinds of events are included and which are excluded, we recommend using the full Jewish calendar REST API instead.

Hi Moish,

Thank you for reaching out!

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer customization options for the daily limudim calendars — we appreciate the feedback though, and it’s helpful to know what our users are looking for.

Regarding your Nach Yomi schedule being one day off, we’d love to look into that further as it may be a bug on our end. Could you send us a link to the schedule you’re using that shows the one-day difference? That will help us investigate and get to the bottom of it.

Thanks again for taking the time to write in!
