Thanks for the bug report!
We have fixed the error and the page is working correctly once again.
Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience.
Hi, we were able to make an update to better display both Israel and Diaspora events using the date converter page.
For example:
https://www.hebcal.com/converter?gd=25&gm=4&gy=2022&g2h=1
When the parsha haShavua differs between the two locations, you'll see this noted with "in Israel" or "in the Diaspora" after the name of the event
Thanks for this suggestion. We'll add this to our TODO list.
If you're using the REST API you can append &i=on to the URL and you'll get results for Israel instead of the Diaspora.

Hi, we're sorry to hear you are having trouble finding Shabbat yom tov and fast day times on Hebcal.
If you enter your location on our Custom Calendar page you will get candle-lighting times for Shabbat and holidays, and also fast start/end times.
If you're having trouble seeing these times, can you send a URL and/or a screenshot so we can assist in debugging further?
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.
You are correct in noticing that our Hebrew Date Converter page defaults to the Diaspora.
We plan to make a change to the page to show both parsha haShavua sometime before the upcoming divergence at the end of April 2022 when we read Parashat Achrei Mot in the Diaspora and Parashat Kedoshim in Israel.
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and we're sorry to hear about this difficulty subscribing to the Hebcal calendar on Google.
Can you try subscribing from a desktop/laptop computer (not a mobile phone) and see if that fixes the problem for you?

Hi, thanks for using the Hebcal Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar.
Hebcal uses the yahrzeit algorithm defined in Calendrical Calculations by Edward M. Reingold and Nachum Dershowitz.
Now, using the date you mentioned above:
Sat, 20 February 1988 = 2nd of Adar, 5748 ב׳ בַּאֲדָר תשמ״ח
Since 5748 was not a leap year, there was only one Adar that year. This means that the death occurred in 12th month of the Hebrew year.
Suppose one wishes to observe the yahrzeit in Hebrew year 5782. Since 5782 is a leap year and none of the other rules applies, we use the same month number as the date of death. In a leap year the 12th month is Adar I, so the yahrzeit is observed on 2nd of Adar I, 5782 (Thu, 3 Feb 2022).
