Your comments
Thanks for your message. Sorry for the inconvenience!
To fix the problem, please edit the Hebcal candle-lighting times RSS feed to add the text &pubDate=0
to the end of the URL. For example, if the URL you were using looks like this:
http://www.hebcal.com/shabbat/?cfg=r&geonameid=281184&i=on&m=50
Change it to this:
http://www.hebcal.com/shabbat/?cfg=r&geonameid=281184&i=on&m=50&pubDate=0

Hi, sorry to hear that you're having trouble with default notifications on the iPhone calendar. Our calendar feeds do not specify any alarms.
We'd recommend going to Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then scroll down to the Calendars section and choose Default Alert Times:
Then be sure to check None for All-Day Events
The XML version now includes the parashat haShavua.

<hebcal> <gregorian year="2015" month="12" day="28"/> <hebrew year="5776" month="Tevet" day="16" str="ט״ז בְּטֵבֵת תשע״ו"/> <events> <event name="Parashat Shemot" href="http://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/shemot"/> </events> </hebcal>
The Hebrew Date Converter REST API already supports this.

For example, if you use this URL
http://www.hebcal.com/converter/?cfg=json&hy=5749&hm=Kislev&hd=25&h2g=1
You will get this response:
{"gy": 1988,"gm": 12,"gd": 4,"hy": 5749,"hm": "Kislev","hd": 25,"hebrew": "כ״ה בְּכִסְלֵו תשמ״ט","events": ["Parashat Miketz","Chanukah: 2 Candles"]}
Notice that the Parashat haShavuah is contained in the events array.
