Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.
We offer translations of event titles into Hebrew, Spanish, French, etc, but other fields such as memo/description are still available only in English.
Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for the question.
Unfortunately no, we don't have a way to export just Minor or Modern holidays. Currently our calendar requires major holidays when you check one of the other options.
Hi, can you please let us know if this continues to be a problem? We have made some changes to how Outlook events are generated from Hebcal and we believe we have fixed the issue.
This issue was fixed several months ago. We reverted to 12-hour format for Brazil.

Hi, thanks for the feedback.
We've made changes to how our API works and Chanukah candle-lighting times will no longer suppress regular Shabbat/Havdalah times. Here's an example to illustrate how the API now behaves (with 2 events on Friday night and 2 events on Saturday night).

Aliyot for special Shabbatot that include three Sifrei Torah have been improved. We read from three Sifrei Torah when Rosh Chodesh coincides with Shabbat HaCodesh, Shabbat Shekalim or Shabbat Chanukah. Although some minyanim have the custom of reading 8 aliyot, we now take the more common approach of including the typical 7 aliyot for Shabbat. The 1st Sefer Torah is for regular Torah reading (aliyot 1-6), the 2nd Sefer Torah is read for the 7th aliyah for Rosh Chodesh (Numbers 28:9-15) and the 3rd Sefer Torah is read for the maftir aliyah (the special Shabbat).
