Hi Chaim, thanks for the additional feedback. We're surprised by the 11:30am local time issue you mentioned. This will require further investigation.
On the Hebrew date being rendered in Hebrew instead of transliteration, no, there currently isn't a way to change the language here. You can uncheck the "Include Hebrew dates" box for now. Perhaps we'll someday add support for multiple languages.
There isn't currently a way to suppress the reminder event the day before.
This is a good suggestion. We should be able to add as a checkbox to the yahrzeit download options to enable/disable these reminders. It may be a few weeks before we find the time to implement that feature. We'll keep this question open and will plan to close it when we have made the change.
Hi, thanks for using the Hebcal Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar with Google Calendar.
We understand that you have made changes on the Hebcal.com website, but the changes have not yet been reflected on your Google Calendar.
Because of how Google Calendar subscription feeds work, it typically takes 24-48 hours for changes to reflect on the Google side. Can you check back and see if the updates now appear?
Yes! Follow these instructions on your laptop/desktop computer or tablet to create your customized Google Calendar feed, taking care to select Hebrew for the Event language option

Sorry to hear about this issue! Could you try again on a computer or tablet? That error message appears sometimes on a mobile device because the Google Calendar app tries to take over. If you follow the instructions from a web browser on a regular laptop or desktop (or a tablet without the Google Calendar app installed) it should work just fine.

Yes, use special language code lg=he-x-NoNikud
Hi, thanks for using the Hebcal Date Converter JSON API. To get events translated in other languages, you can specify lg=LANGUAGE in the URL, for example:
Hebrew
https://www.hebcal.com/converter?gd=9&gm=11&gy=2023&g2h=1&cfg=json&lg=he
Spanish
https://www.hebcal.com/converter?gd=9&gm=11&gy=2023&g2h=1&cfg=json&lg=es
Hi, take a look at this page (this is just a "rough draft") and let us know if this is what you're looking for?
That's good info! So are you looking for a big 6-year table with the parshiyot on the left and different columns for each Hebrew year, and the date of the parsha in each cell? We could do a version like that, with just the Shabbat dates (which would be pretty easy to read) or it could potentially have the Monday and Thursday dates in each cell also.

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.
