Thanks for using the Hebcal date converter.

Unfortunately, no, we do not offer a timezone parameter or another web API to determine the Hebrew date based on the current date in a timezone.

You can do this in JavaScript using our Zmanim JavaScript API using something like the following code

const {Location, Zmanim, HDate} = require('@hebcal/core');
const location = Location.lookup('Boston');
const now = new Date();
const zmanim = new Zmanim(location, now, false);
const sunset = zmanim.sunset();
let hd = new HDate(now);
if (now >= sunset) {
  hd = hd.next();
}

Thanks, this is very helpful! We have fixed the web pages. The corrected reading appears in both of these places:

Hi, thanks for contacting Hebcal.

To calculate yahrzeit dates, please use our Yahrzeit + Anniversary Calendar page. You will note that if you enter 11-March-2005 you will get the Ashkenazic practice for 30 Adar I.

Thank you for posting a screenshot from our simple Hebcal Hebrew Date converter. The Hebrew Date Converter page does not follow the special rules for a yahrzeit.

If you want parshiyot for current Hebrew year, use &year=now&yt=H

Here is an excerpt from the documentation, note the meaning of the "yt" parameter

Date

Date range may be specified either using year or both start and end:

• year=now – “now” for current year, or 4-digit YYYY such as 2003
  • yt=G – Interpret year as Gregorian year (common era) – default
  • yt=H – Interpret year as Hebrew year (e.g. 5782)

For more details please read the APi documentation

We’re pleased to announce support for Comma Separated Values (CSV) file import in the Hebcal Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar. You can now create a personal list of Yahrzeit (memorial) and Yizkor dates, Hebrew Birthdays and Anniversaries for 20+ years by importing a CSV file.

thanks for your message. You are correct that Parashat Vayechi is not read during the Gregorian year 2024. This is not a bug. Parashat Vayechi is read once every Hebrew year but is not guaranteed to be read during every Gregorian year.

Note the dates that the parsha is read below, and you will see that although it is read once every Hebrew year, it is sometimes read twice in the same Gregorian year and not at all in the following Gregorian year.

• 5781 · 2 Jan 2021
• 5782 · 18 Dec 2021
• 5783 · 7 Jan 2023
• 5784 · 30 Dec 2023
• 5785 · 11 Jan 2025
• 5786 · 3 Jan 2026

• 5787 · 26 Dec 2026
• 5788 · 15 Jan 2028
• 5789 · 30 Dec 2028

Parashat Vezot Habracha is not read on Shabbat. Instead it is read during Simchat Torah.
