If you subscribed to annual email reminders, you can search for an existing Yahrzeit + Anniversary Calendar by email address here:

https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit/search


If you did not subscribe by email, but you created a Yahrzeit list and then subscribed in your calendar app (e.g. Apple, Google, Microsoft Outlook, etc), then you can follow instructions on this page:

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

If there are no events in a month at the beginning or end of a year, the month will appear blank. This can happen in January, for example, when you adjust th calendar settings to disable Rosh Chodesh.

If you wish to see January 2026, be sure to have the Rosh Chodesh and/or Special Shabbatot box checked as follows:

Thanks for the suggestion. To merge a Jewish holiday calendar and a personal Yahrzeit/Anniversary calendar into the same view, we recommend importing your Hebcal events into a separate calendar app.

We provide step-by-step instructions for importing into Apple, Google, Outlook and other calendar apps.

Hi, thanks for contacting Hebcal.

We do not offer an iPhone app for Hebcal just yet. We do offer two options that could be useful to you:

1. Jewish holiday downloads for iPhone

https://www.hebcal.com/home/77/iphone-ipad-jewish-holidays


2. Hebcal app for Apple Watch

https://www.hebcal.com/home/apple-watch

for details about holidays, we recommend you instead use the Jewish Calendar API

https://www.hebcal.com/home/195/jewish-calendar-rest-api


you can control the event types by specifying exactly which holidays you want to see, and when parsing the result you can use the category and subcat fields to understand what types of holiday events the API returns

One additional suggestion: if you are trying to find all of the email subscriptions you may have for yahrzeit reminders, you can test out our new email search

https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit/search


We'd welcome any feedback about this new feature!

Thanks so much for your feedback! How do other calendars in Israel annotate the last day of חוה״מ so that non-observant people know that there should only be a half day of work? If you can share some other examples, this would help is in understanding how to design an enhancement for the Outlook calendar feed for Israel.

Hi, can you please send us a screenshot of the error message you received? We believe our email service is working fine but we would like to help you fix the problem.

Hi, thanks for your message. We're sorry to hear that you are receiving multiple yahrzeit reminders when you wish to receive only one.


Our yahrzeit reminder service doesn't check for duplicates (to see if an email address has already signed up for email reminders) when you enter your email address. It's possible that you signed up multiple times with the same email address.


The solution is to click the Unsubscribe link in the bottom of 3 out of the 4 the email messages you recently received, and then confirm that you do wish to unsubscribe from reminders.

In years when Acharei Mot and Kedoshim are separate, Kedoshim is often preempted by a special haftarah, and Acharei Mot is not preempted, the dominant Ashkenazi custom is to read the haftarah from Amos on Shabbat Acharei Mot.


This situation happens very infrequently - about 6% of the time. This year is very rare in that the parshiyot are read separately and neither coincides with a special Shabbat; this last happened 27 years ago, and will not occur again for another 17 years.

The explanation of different customs offered by Rabbi David E. S. Stein in http://www.scholar.davidesstein.name/Articles/HaftarotOfEtzHayim--Stein.pdf is an excellent resource that explains further.
