Thanks Aaron! Looking forward to experimenting with that.


Amy, just pushed out version 1.7 of the widget to fix the HTTP/HTTPS issue that had broken our previous wordpress plugin.

Our Aliyah-by-Aliyah triennial readings are only for the Diaspora. Unfortunately, the Rabbinical Assembly's document does not describe how to handle combined Torah readings in Israel.


For example, in the 3-year cycle that began in 5771, in Israel,

  • Behar-Bechukotai were read separately in 5771
  • Behar-Bechukotai were read separately in 5772
  • Behar-Bechukotai were read together in 5773


The 3-year pattern of separate, separate, together (S-S-T) does not appear on page 403 of the document.


In the Diaspora, which the document covers, 

  • Behar-Bechukotai were read separately in 5771
  • Behar-Bechukotai were read together in 5772
  • Behar-Bechukotai were read together in 5773


The 3-year pattern of S-T-T is cycle variation C on page 403, so we can publish it correctly.


This problem occurs with the other combined parshiyot as well. For example, Matot-Masei is S-T-S in Israel in 5774, 5775, and 5776 (the current cycle) but S-T-T in Diaspora. S-T-T is indeed covered on page 410, but S-T-S (for Israel) is not provided.


I am not aware of a source for triennial readings in Israel. If you know of such a source, please share it?


Hebcal is pronounced HEEB-kal, as in Hebrew calendar).

This is a great idea! We will implement as soon as we can find the time. Pesach sameach.

Sorry, we don't offer a bulk upload. This would be a great feature to implement.


If you can export data to Google Sheets, then you might be able to use this 3rd-party Hebrew date converter to do the translation.

You'll find instructions on how to remove Hebcal from Microsoft Outlook, iPhone, iPad, Mac OS X Desktop Calendar, Android (via Google Calendar), etc. on this page:

Thanks for your message! We think we found the root cause of the problem and we believe it's fixed.


Purim Sameach!

It's the Hebrew word for calendar. Transliterated "Luach".

If you see a candle lighting time event on a Saturday night you can assume that it signifies both Havdalah and candle lighting for the holiday.
