Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

We believe the date conversions provided by Hebcal are correct. 

The 27th of Adar II, 5736 was in fact Monday, 29 March 1976.

Tuesday, 30 March 1976 corresponds to the 28th of Adar II, 5736.

Gregorian leap years are already correctly accounted for in date conversions. For example, note the date conversions for February 28 and February 29 in 1976:

If you can find another date conversion source that disagrees with our calculations, please post the reference here so we can investigate further.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for the bug report!

We've fixed the font size issue; please refresh and it should solve the problem.

We have also fixed the links on Israel Torah reading pages to point to the Diaspora versions for Triennial more reliably.

In addition to previous output there are now two new outputs

Sunrise plus 3 halachic hours, according to Magen Avraham

sofZmanTfillaMGA – Latest Shacharit (MGA)

Sunrise plus 4 halachic hours, according to Magen Avraham

The source code that generates the new times is here:

Hi, thanks for using the Hebcal Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar.

If you know the Hebrew but not the Gregorian date, use the Hebrew Date Converter to get the Gregorian date and then come back to the Hebcal Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar page.

Thanks so much for the suggestion! We'll consider these additions for Pesach and Sukkot.

Note that Purim already includes the 🎭️📜 emoji

Sat, 26 March 2022 after sunset is in fact the next Hebrew day, e.g. no longer Shabbat, so in fact it is correctly Parashat Tazria. 

Sat, 26 March 2022 before sunset is Shabbat, Parashat Shmini.

Please examine the "after sunset" box when using the date converter and remember to check the box only when you wish to convert a date after sunset.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

Our website agrees with you and we publish Shmini for this coming Shabbat. Where did you see a page that said 26 March 2022 is Parshat Tazria? If you've found a page that's incorrect we'd like to fix it!


For reference, here are two pages on our website that list 26 March 2022 as Parashat Shmini.
