Hi, thanks for using Hebcal's Zmanim API!

To avoid excessive CPU usage and ensure quick response times, we limit the total range for Zmanim to be 45 days. If the "end" parameter is more than 45 days after the "start" parameter, is reset to 45 days.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal's leyning information.

Hebcal follows the document A Complete Triennial System for Reading the Torah, published by the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly. The leyning for Achrei Mot comes directly from this source.

Here is a screenshot of the relevant except from that document. This is year 3 of a cycle for variation "A", where Achrei Mot and Kedoshim are read together, together, and then separately.


Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and our yahrzeit email reminder service.

You'll find an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every Yahrzeit email reminder message like the following:

Yahrzeit reminder email messages come from Hebcal and have a subject like "Yahrzeit Observance for October 20-21"


If for some reason you can't find the Yahrzeit  message, please send an email to mradwin@hebcal.com and we'll look your email address up in our database and get you unsubscribed.

Thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks so much for catching this error!

We have fixed the aliyot so the 4th aliyah is listed as 4 and not maftir. You may need to refresh the page to see the corrected version.

Hi, thanks so much for the feedback and bug report. We investigated the issue and agree that the count looked incorrect for some locations if you visited the Hebcal.com homepage after sunset.

We have modified the candle count to match the correct number of candles based on your latitude/longitude, and we've further clarified by adding the day of the week instead of "tonight"

Chanukah Sameach!

Hi Rabbi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for your message.

The Hebcal.com website does list Parashat Tazria as year 3 of triennial cycle for the current year.


Tazria 5782 / תַזְרִיעַ

Read on 2 April 2022 / 1 Nisan 5782


https://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/tazria-20220402

Did you find a page that indicates that the April 2022 reading is for the 2nd year? If so, could you send us the URL and a screenshot?

Chanukah Sameach!

Thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for this suggestion!


We have updated the Jewish Calendar REST API documentation to reflect the availability of the start/end parameters

Chanukah Sameach!

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble finding Chanukah in 2021 and 2022.

Can you check your calendar on iPhone and see if Chanukah is showing up as a timed event (vs an all-day event)? If you entered a location for candle-lighting times, you'll see Chanukah candles showing up in your Hebcal calendar feed as a timed event like this:

If you still can't find Chanukah, can you send the Subscribed Calendar Server URL of the Hebcal calendar you are using so we can inspect it on our servers?

If you subscribed directly on the iPhone, you'll find the URL on the Settings > Calendar > Accounts > Subscribed Calendars > Hebcal Jewish Calendar ... > Server.

If you subscribed via iCloud, you can open the Calendar app on macOS, then click the name of the Hebcal calendar on the left list of calendar names, then choose Edit > Subscription Settings... to get the URL.

The URL will start with https://download.hebcal.com/ or http://download.hebcal.com/

WIX

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. Yes, you can embed code on a Wix site using the "Wix Editor: Embedding a Site or a Widget" instructions:

To display a dynamic calendar grid, we'd recommend using fullcalendar.io + hebcal. There are some instructions here to get you started:

To display Shabbat times, you can use the JavaScript generated by this tool:

Shabbat shalom!

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.


As of August 2020, the trailing slash after "converter" or after "shabbat" is now optional.

All of the following will work correctly with the CORS header without triggering a 301 redirect

https://www.hebcal.com/shabbat?cfg=json

https://www.hebcal.com/shabbat/?cfg=json

https://www.hebcal.com/converter?cfg=json

https://www.hebcal.com/converter/?cfg=json


http://www.hebcal.com/shabbat?cfg=json

http://www.hebcal.com/shabbat/?cfg=json

http://www.hebcal.com/converter?cfg=json

http://www.hebcal.com/converter/?cfg=json

The Hebcal website generally requires https for most pages but still allows http for any URL with cfg=json.
