Thanks for contacting Hebcal.


The time format on the Hebcal.com website is specific to a location. Some countries such as Israel use 24 hour format. Other locations like the United States, Canada or Brazil use a 12 hour format.

If you wish to have more control over how Hebcal events are displayed, we would encourage you to download the Hebcal events to another application (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, etc.) and then format the calendar as you see fit.

Pages generated by the Interactive Jewish Calendar can be printed very easily on standard 8.5×11″ paper. Just try “Print Preview” and you’ll see what it looks like. You can print out an entire year at a time and each month will end up on a separate sheet.

We also offer a simple Print PDF feature that creates PDF files in landscape layout, one page per month.


To print other sizes or to customize, we recommend downloading/exporting from hebcal.com and importing into a more full-featured desktop or web calendar program, such as one of the following:

  • Outlook CSV – Outlook has extremely powerful print features (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Tri-fold, Calendar Details, Day-Timer, Day Runner, Franklin Day Planner, etc.)
  • Google Calendar – offers Day, Week, Month, or Agenda views with customizable date range, font size, page orientation, and color setting (see also “Print your calendar” from Google support)
  • Apple macOS Calendar – offers Day, Week, Month, List, Selected Events in US Letter and other standard paper formats. Options include All-day events, Timed events, Color/Black and white, and text size controls.

See the Printable Shabbat Times tool to print out candle lighting times only for an entire year.

Yes, look at the events array

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?gd=11&gm=3&gy=2025&g2h=1&cfg=json&lg=he-x-NoNikud

You'll see something like this:

{
  "gy": 2025,
  "gm": 3,
  "gd": 11,
  "afterSunset": false,
  "hy": 5785,
  "hm": "Adar",
  "hd": 11,
  "hebrew": "י״א בַּאֲדָר תשפ״ה",
  "heDateParts": {
    "y": "תשפ״ה",
    "m": "אדר",
    "d": "י״א"
  },
  "events": [
    "פרשת כי תשא"
  ]
}

We've completed this change. "Show Hebrew date for dates with some event" shows for any event type except for a daily learning event.

Thanks for this feedback. We will investigate and consider changing exactly as you suggest

Weekly calculations change every Sunday at midnight in the city’s local time zone.


The returned JSON results includes a list of items that have a category will typically include each of the following:

  • candles – Candle-lighting on Friday or erev chag
  • parashat – Parashat HaShavua, the weekly Torah portion
  • havdalah – Havdalah, the end of Shabbat

Depending on the week of the year, other items may appear in the results, including

  • holiday (with subcat major or minor or fast)
  • zmanim (often with subcat fast for “Fast begins” or “Fast ends”)


This 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.

Thanks for getting back to me. We need to first do the lower-level Zmanim integration. We have to do a small amount of porting from KosherZmanim/KosherJava because that 4-year-old package depends on the bloated Luxon library; our fork uses the new JS Temporal


Once that's done, it should be more straightforward to add a "Chabad" checkbox to the Hebcal Custom Calendar creator, and a Chabad option for the iCalendar feed for Zmanim.

Again, no promises on when - this is probably a day or two of work. We'll keep this ticket open and update as we make progress and have something for you to test.

Thanks for this suggestion. We will endeavor to add these to the Hebcal TypeScript libraries. We can't promise a date by when we will complete these - Hebcal is a volunteer gig, not our day job.


Would you expect to use these as a software developer via web APIs like our Zmanim (halachic times) API, or as an end user with some sort of web pages and calendar feeds? 


Note that we don't currently have any Zmanim web pages on hebcal.com, and our iCalendar feed for Zmanim is considered experimental and doesn't really have a proper web UI. The hebcal.com website is currently more focused on holidays, date conversion, Yahrzeits, and Torah readings. It only exposes a very limited subset of zmanim (candle-lighting, havdalah, and fast start/end times) to end users via the custom calendar creator feature.
