Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

Our apologies that we don't yet offer an iPhone or Android app. We're working on an iPhone app that we hope to release before Rosh Hashana 5783. Stay tuned!

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

If you'd like a calendar of only holidays (and no candle-lighting or havdalah times), you can visit this page and then be sure to delete the name of the city from the "Candle lighting times" input field

Thanks for using the Hebcal APIs!


You may receive a 429 “Too Many Requests” error if your client makes more than 90 requests in a 10-second window.

Many of our APIs support batch queries, and those should be used when possible to avoid hitting our rate limits. We also generate proper HTTP Cache-Control and/or Expires headers so your client can optionally use a caching proxy to avoid actually incurring load on our APIs if you end up fetching the same information multiple times. By design Hebcal APIs are stateless and idempotent.

If for some reason you are running up against the rate limits can you please share your use case with us? If you have a use case we haven't considered we would love to hear about it!

We don't offer a PDF file but you can easily print-to-PDF from your web browser.

For example, try printing this sample Yahrzeit calendar and you'll see:

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

We'll follow up privately to get more information from you so we can help to resolve the problem.

Hi, thanks for using the Hebcal APIs, and thanks for the bug report.

You aren't doing anything wrong - it looks like you found a bug in our timezone logic!

We believe we have fixed the issue and deployed a change. Please take a look and let us know if it seems to be working correctly now.

So sorry we could not meet your needs.

If you find another free yahrzeit calendar website that allows you to enter just Hebrew dates without years, we would love to know about it!

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. You can create a personal list of Yahrzeit (memorial) and Yizkor dates, Hebrew Birthdays and Anniversaries for 20+ years at this page


https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit

Once you've created your personal calendar, you can print it out, sign up for free annual email reminders, and/or download to your favorite calendar app.


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 Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar page.

If you don't know the Hebrew year, it may be difficult to get a correct date conversion. 

The rules for calculating birthdays and yahrzeits are a bit complicated and depend on the actual attributes of the Hebrew year they occurred in -- was it a leap year (Adar vs. Adar I vs. Adar II)? Short Kislev? Long Cheshvan?


You can read more about the complexities here: https://www.hebcal.com/home/54/anniversaries-adar-cheshvan-kislev

This is why we recommend you put in the actual date of the birth or death (e.g. original year) and not the current year.

Yes and no. Yes, if you enter this year into the form you will get a perpetual calendar based on those dates. However, you may inadvertently create an inaccurate calendar!


The rules for calculating birthdays and yahrzeits are a bit complicated and depend on the actual attributes of the Hebrew year they occurred in (was it a leap year? Short Kislev? Long Cheshvan?). It's unlikely that this year matches the form of the year the birth or death occurred.
