Rosh Hashana falls on the 1st of Tishrei, between Elul and Cheshvan.


You can download calendars for Google Calendar and more at http://www.hebcal.com/ical

The month of Elul has 29 days. No mistake on our calendar.

Sorry to hear that Alexa is having trouble recognizing the name of our skill.


You can try saying "Alexa, open Hebcal"

Hello,


Hebcal.com does not provide Android apps, free or premium. We have been providing a Jewish holiday and calendar website since 1998. Recently, an unaffiliated 3rd party called BotenSoft released a similarly-named Android app called HebCal.


If you're looking for support for the unrelated BotenSoft product, please contact Nahum Ben-Porath of BotenSoft.

Thanks for the bug report! We fixed the problem.

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, thanks for using Hebcal. Sorry to hear about your duplicate event problem. Try these instructions to remove from Google Calendar and then resync your Android phone.

We have several other articles on how to remove Hebcal from various other devices (for example iPhone) here:

Yes, our Shabbat API returns some limited information about holidays. If you look at the documentation, you'll see an example where one of the items has a category of holiday.

We recently added support for "perpetual" calendar feeds to Hebcal.com. Now, when you use our Add to Google Calendar feature, you will get a perpetual 2-to-5 year feed that always is based on the current Gregorian or Hebrew year.


The variable length of the number of years depends on how many events we can fit into the feed. Most calendars can hold a full 5 years of events. If, however, you select an option like "Show Hebrew date every day of the year" or "Daf Yomi", these will generates 365 events per year, so we can only do a 2-year feed...


If you wish to download events many many years in the future, you can use our Google calendar alternate download option to download and then upload .ics files. If you choose to go this path, pease note carefully to use your new, separate calendar in steps 13-14 so you don’t inadvertently merge Hebcal events with your own events
