Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

Can you send a screenshot or a URL? The Hebrew date conversion may be confusing to understand, and we might be able to help explain to you what results you're seeing.

We've added a feed with the Schottenstein page numbers to this page https://www.hebcal.com/ical/

Because the Vilna/Schottenstein switch will take up some space, we need to do a small form redesign to make that fit.


Are you using the Schottenstein edition or the Vilna page numbers? We can more quickly add a Schottenstein iCalendar feed to the simple download page  https://www.hebcal.com/ical/ as that doesn't require the aforementioned page redesign of the custom calendar builder.

Hi, we've started looking into this. If I understand correctly, Daf Yomi Yerushalmi began on Tu BiShvat 5740 (Sat, 2 February 1980) and follows a 4.25 year (51 month) cycle using page numbers according to the Vilna Edition. This cycle skips both Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av. In this version, tractate Berakhot has 68 pages so it takes 68 days to read.

The previous cycle began on 23 Av 5778 / 4 August 2018.

The current cycle began on 20 Cheshvan 5783 / 14 November 2022.

It also appears that there's an alternate page numbering scheme provided by the Schottenstein Edition, and this cycle take a little less than 6 years. Yom Kippur and Tish'a B'Av are not skipped in this alternate cycle. This alternate cycle also began on 20 Cheshvan 5783 / 14 November 2022. In this version, tractate Berakhot has 94 pages so it takes 94 days to read.

Which page numbering are you planning to use?

This is a great suggestion. I'm less familiar with how the cycle works. From a quick scan of https://www.dafyomi.co.il/calendars/calendaryeru11.htm it looks like we don't read a daf on just 2 days each year: Yom Kippur and Tish'a B'Av. Otherwise, the structure is very similar to the Bavli? 

Greetings! It's been many years since we discussed this, and we’re pleased to (finally) 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.

Further details are described here:

Hi, thanks for contacting us.

There is a C command-line interface (not a library). It is not designed to be used in a library context (global variables, places where the code calls die() or exit()) but you are welcome to take a look. 

To find the older C code, go back in the GitHub repository to the latest 4.x release
