Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and sorry to hear about this problem. We haven't seen anything quite like what you describe before, so our recommendation would be to delete/unsubscribe from Hebcal on your Apple device and start over

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal and we're sorry to hear about your troubles.

We don't have any software that displays a date in the upper right hand corner of your desktop. I'm not sure what application is causing that, but I don't think it's coming from Hebcal. You may need to ask the Apple Genius Bar to help you identify which application is displaying the date.

Follow these instructions if you no longer wish to subscribe to Hebcal in the native Calendar.app on macOS (formerly called iCal on Mac OS X).

If you inadvertently merged the Hebcal calendar events with your personal calendar and you didn’t use the Subscription feature, use our delete Hebcal merged events instructions instead.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

Sukkot (Feast of Booths) for Hebrew Year 5782 begins at sundown on Monday, 20 September 2021 and ends at nightfall on Monday, 27 September 2021.


Sukkot (Hebrew: סוכות or סֻכּוֹת, sukkōt, or sukkos, Feast of Booths, Feast of Tabernacles) is a Biblical holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei (late September to late October). It is one of the three biblically mandated festivals Shalosh regalim on which Jews were commanded to make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem.


Generate a list of Yahrzeit dates, Hebrew Birthdays, or Hebrew Anniversaries at https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit


In the form, enter the date of death. After you generate a personal anniversary calendar, you will be able to print, subscribe to annual email reminders, or download a multi-year calendar feed to Apple, Google, Outlook, and other calendar apps.

We've released some experimental support for an API here.

Documentation is forthcoming, but the basic idea is that you'll need to POST x-www-form-urlencoded data to https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit with the special parameter cfg=json

For example:

curl 'https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit' \
-H 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-raw 'cfg=json&n1=Example1&t1=Birthday&d1=15&m1=4&y1=1983&s1=on&n2=Example2&t2=Yahrzeit&d2=13&m2=11&y2=2008&s2=off&hebdate=on&years=20&v=yahrzeit' \
--compressed

Hi Steven, thanks for catching this bug. The logic for picking today's date when there is no start, end or date parameter was defaulting to today's date in UTC instead of the date at the timezone based on the location.

The issue has been fixed now and those different URLs should give consistent results.

You can always specify an explicit date like https://www.hebcal.com/zmanim?cfg=json&zip=60613&date=2021-03-12 if you don't want the implicit "today" feature.

Hi, thanks for the generous offer! We'd love your help to offer a Portuguese transliteration.

You can use a tool like Poedit to create the translation file https://poedit.net/

We suggest you download a file like the Spanish language translation, and rename it "pt.po" and then make your edits there. Once you've finished, you can email the file to webmaster@hebcal.com and we will incorporate it into the website within a few days.
