Hi Andrea, thanks for the feedback.

I understand your concern about a novice reader not understanding that the weekday Torah readings are for the week before the Shabbat. (And actually, during times of the year like right now when Shabbat coincides with a holiday or Chol HaMoed, it's sometimes more than a week before the portion is read on a Shabbat),

We'll consider modifying the pages to add the specific dates of the readings on Mondays and Thursdays to clarify.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll consider the idea of updating CSV files. We haven't seen much demand for weekday Torah readings, and adding them to the CSV files adds size and extra detail that many leyning coordinators don't want or need.

We might instead consider creating separate CSV files for Monday & Thursday (e.g. non-Shabbat, non-Holiday).

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal on Alexa and thanks for the feedback!

The candle-lighting defaulting to Shabbos is a bug, and Havdalah is a feature that we never implemented. Both are excellent things to work on. We'll leave this ticket open and update when we get around to deploying a new Alexa skill that addresses these items.

Mo'adim L'Simcha!

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and thanks for your question. You are correct that Hebcal.com does not currently provide the Torah reading breakdown for the 3 weekday aliyot. This would be an excellent enhancement to the Hebcal website and we will add it to the TODO list. We will keep this ticket open until the feature is live on the website.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and we're sorry to hear about the confusion on yahrzeit dates.

Do you know if your father passed away before or after sunset?

If your father passed away on Wed, 17 November 1999 before sunset, then yes, the date of death is 8th of Kislev, 5760

If your father passed away on Wed, 17 November 1999 after sunset, then the date of death is actually 9th of Kislev, 5760

When using the Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar at https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit please be careful to select before sunset or after sunset.
