Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

We recently modified the behavior of the "Show Hebrew date every day of the year" and "Show Hebrew date for dates with some event" checkboxes on the Custom Calendar page to display the Hebrew year only for the 1st of each month.

This change keeps the text on each calendar day as brief as possible, but still displays the Hebrew year once each month.

So, for example, this week you will see the following:

If you're building an iOS app, you may be able to use the Hebcal Swift implementation. This offers holidays and date conversion but not yet candle-lighting times and doesn't require internet because it's built as a native Swift library

From an iOS app you are also free to use Hebcal web services for things like candle-lighting times. You'll find a list of all of our web service APIs here:

Hi, thanks for finding this bug! We have fixed the issue and Erev Purim is now listed as minor in the JSON output.

Hi, if you'd like to use the iPhone's built in Hebrew calendar, you can follow these instructions:

  1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap on Calendars.
  3. Tap on Alternate Calendars.
  4. Tap on Hebrew.
  5. Your Calendar app should now reflect those changes.

If you'd like to use our calendar feeds to display the Hebrew date (for example to display י״ד חֶשְׁוָן instead of 14 Cheshvan) then you can visit https://www.hebcal.com/ical/ and subscribe to the Hebrew calendar dates (Hebrew) feed.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for posting this suggestion!

We've changed our calendars so we only include the year in the Hebrew date for the 1st of Tishrei (e.g. Rosh Hashana).

Sorry to hear that! Did you try running the App Store directly on the watch and searching for Hebcal? It's still available in the app store.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for your patience.

We recently added new "Parsha by year" pages like the following which list the Torah readings (both Shabbat and holiday) for an entire year. These pages contain links to the Comma Separated Value (CSV) files which you can import into Microsoft Excel or some other spreadsheet program

Hi Etay, if you're an engineer and know JavaScript/ECMAScript, you could add the missing features to Hebcal itself.

You might find using the JS API more convenient than parsing CSV files anyways...
