Sorry to hear about your duplicate calendar events. It sounds like you may have subscribed to multiple Hebcal calendars in Google Calendar.

Please note, there is a confusingly similar named Android app called HebCal & Widget available on the Google Play store. This app is not affiliated with Hebcal.com in any way. It is developed by a completely separate organization called BotenSoft. The Hebcal name isn't trademarked so we can't stop them from using it.
Although they use the same name, we have no relationship with BotenSoft and cannot offer support for their app.
We have corrected the algorithm on the Hebcal website so it now displays the correct reading for Sunday, 28 April 2024 (and for future years where Pesach falls on the same days of the week, such as 2028 / 5788).
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.
If you would like the dates to be right-to-left, please visit https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal and for the Event titles Language selector, choose "Hebrew" or "Hebrew (no nikud)" as follows:
All other language options will render the calendar left-to-right.
yes, correct! True for sunrise, false for sunset
Thanks Gabriel, we can confirm that there is a discrepancy on Sunday, 28 April 2024 / 20 Nisan 5784 between what Hebcal.com publishes and what Rabbi Miles Cohen luach publishes. Hebcal is displaying the Pesach Chol HaMoed Day 3 reading (Exodus 34:1-26; Numbers 28:19-25) and Rabbi Cohen's luach displays the Chol HaMoed day 4 reading (Numbers 9:1-14, 28:19-25).
We are investigating further and we will get back to you.
Hi Chaim, we have added a new option to the download dialog box to disable the reminders the day before. See screenshot below.
Since the checkbox generates a new calendar feed URL, you will need to subscribe to a new calendar feed to get a version without reminder events. First unsubscribe from the existing calendar in Google Calendar, and then subscribe to the new calendar feed.
Hi, we looked into Amud Yomi, and it appears a bit too complex for Hebcal to implement at this time. Unlike Daf Yomi, there are many different options for Amud Yomi, and we don't have the ability to make a customizable feed just yet. We are very sorry we can't help with this feature.
We did find an Amud Yomi + Custom Review Program Generator that someone else created. Can you take a look as see if this will work for you?
Hi, thanks for contacting Hebcal.
If you are building an application using the @hebcal/core JavaScript package, then yes, this change is very easy to do. Use the function zmanim.timeAtAngle(12.9, true)
https://github.com/hebcal/hebcal-es6/blob/main/README.md#Zmanim+timeAtAngle
If you are using the Zmanim REST API, sorry, we don't yet have a way to pass in custom angles.

Thanks for using Hebcal!
We offer several options for developers to customize zmanim by degrees or minutes. Currently both Havdalah and fast end times can be configured as degrees (defaulting to 8.5 and 7.083 respectively). These options are documented in the @hebcal/core README.
For regular users, unfortunately, we do not yet offer the ability to specify degrees on the Hebcal.com website. There's a toggle between 8.5 degrees for Havdalah (default) or user-specified minutes past sundown. The current website design is limited in this simplicity, which seems to work for the majority of users. At some point we'd like to add more configuration options to the website.
If you are a website user, what kind of settings would you like access to? Do you have an example application you've seen that could help to demonstrate the kind of user interface for setting these options that you could share a screenshot of?
