Your comments

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. Sorry to hear about your difficulty with deleting multiple events.


When hebcal exports to CSV format, it puts the text "Hebcal" or “Jewish Holidays” in the Location or Description field. That is there to make it easy to remove entries from your calendar if you got the wrong settings. For example, if you were using candle-lighting times but entered the wrong zip code, you could follow these instructions to remove all of the incorrect entries:

  1. Open your Calendar and on the View menu point to Current Viewand click Events
  2. Click the Location column heading to sort the list of holidays by Location (you should see “Jewish Holidays” in the location field for the holidays that you imported from CSV)
  3. Click to select the first holiday you want to delete
  4. Hold down SHIFT and click the last holiday you want to delete
  5. Press DELETE to remove all the selected holidays from your Calendar

Here are similar instructions for Outlook desktop on Mac

This is available in the JavaScript @hebcal/core API. You can call Event.getFlags() and then bitwise-AND with both flags.CHUL_ONLY and flags.CHAG.

In August 2020 we updated our solar calculation engine, which enabled this feature.

Havdalah can now be calculated according to tzeit hakochavim, the point when 3 small stars are observable in the night time sky with the naked eye. The new default Havdalah option is calculated when the sun is 8.5° below the horizon. This option is an excellent default for most places on the planet. We still offer the option to use a fixed number of minutes past sundown (e.g. 42 min for three medium-sized stars, 50 min for three small stars, 72 min for Rabbeinu Tam) which works well for Israel, most of the USA and Europe.

    Hi Pedro, were you able to make any progress on Portuguese translation?

    Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

    Follow these instructions if you no longer wish to subscribe to Hebcal in the native Calendar.app on macOS.

    Yes, you can just print the page and you should have a list of dates for the next 20 years.


    The results can be printed very easily on standard 8.5×11″ paper. Just try “Print Preview” and you’ll see what it looks like.


    To print other sizes or to customize, we recommend downloading/exporting from hebcal.com and importing into a more full-featured desktop or web calendar program, such as one of the following:

    • Outlook CSV – Outlook has extremely powerful print features (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Tri-fold, Calendar Details, Day-Timer, Day Runner, Franklin Day Planner, etc.)
    • Google Calendar – offers Day, Week, Month, or Agenda views with customizable date range, font size, page orientation, and color setting (see also “Print your calendar” from Google support)
    • Apple macOS Calendar – offers Day, Week, Month, List, Selected Events in US Letter and other standard paper formats. Options include All-day events, Timed events, Color/Black and white, and text size controls.




    Generate a list of Yahrzeit dates, Hebrew Birthdays, or Hebrew Anniversaries.

    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.
