Hi, thanks for writing to the Hebcal Jewish Calendar support page.

We don't conduct Shabbat services - we're just an online calendar resource.

Hebcal (pronounced HEEB-kal, as in Hebrew calendar) is a free Jewish calendar and holiday web site.

Our mission is to increase awareness of Jewish holidays and to help Jews to be observant of the mitzvot.


We offer a powerful custom Jewish calendar tool that lets you generate a list of Jewish holidays for any year (past, present or future). Also available are a Hebrew date converter, Shabbat candle lighting times and Torah readings (both full kriyah and triennial system), and a page to look up yahrzeits, birthdays and anniversaries.

Hi,

  • Sun, 29 March 1942 = 11th of Nisan, 5702
  • י״א בְּנִיסָן תש״ב


Since Passover is the 15th of Nisan, the parsha that week was Pesach.


We've launched our new Mishna Yomi feature!

Thanks again for the suggestion.

We recommend you first follow the aforementioned instructions to first remove all copies of Hebcal events from your calendars. The instructions you originally used to import Hebcal events were our previous Outlook Mac 2011 instructions. Outlook for Mac 2011 did not support iCalendar subscriptions and cloud sync, so it required downloading a copy of events from Hebcal.com and manually managing them on your desktop.

Starting with Outlook for Mac 2016, Microsoft now recommends that you sync your account to the Microsoft Cloud. “Available for Google, Yahoo, iCloud, and IMAP accounts in Outlook for Mac, this allows you to enjoy many of the best features of Mail and Calendar and Outlook for Mac.”

We recently published detailed instructions that show how to subscribe to Hebcal events in modern versions of Outlook for Mac using the cloud sync feature with Outlook Web (Outlook.com) account. Please follow these instructions to restore the Hebcal events to your desktop:

Thanks for the suggestion! This would be an excellent addition to the Hebcal.com website.


We will investigate the details and hope to offer this feature sometime in 5782.

Hi, thanks for writing to us. We're so sorry to hear about the difficulty you're having with finding the Jewish holidays for Gregorian year 2022.

Unfortunately, we aren't able to reproduce the error you mentioned. Could you send us a URL or a screenshot of the page where you are seeing something incorrect?


Hi, thanks for writing to us. We're so sorry to hear about the difficulty you're having with Gregorian and Hebrew date conversion.


It's very important to us that we provide accurate information on our website. We checked and the date conversion is working correctly. Unfortunately, we aren't able to reproduce the error you mentioned. Could you send us a URL or a screenshot of the page where you are seeing something incorrect?

Please note that when converting from Gregorian to Hebrew dates there is an "After sunset" checkbox that can be checked or unchecked by the user:

Hi, thanks for using the Hebcal Apple Watch app... and congrats on your new watch.

We've seen this issue before, and it's a problem because our watch app doesn't have a companion iPhone app. This is a new feature that Apple introduced recently and there are still some bugs with how the user experience works. The long-term fix for us will be to release an iPhone companion app.

In the short term, however, the best workaround we can recommend is to go to the App Store on the watch itself and search for (and install) Hebcal. By installing the app directly on the watch, it seems to work around this error.

We hope this helps! Happy Gregorian New Year.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

Yes, the Hebrew Date Converter at https://www.hebcal.com/converter can convert from Hebrew dates to Gregorian dates.


If you are a software developer, the web API also supports conversion both ways
