If you'd like to get Parashat haShavuah according to date, you'll want to use our REST API. Here's an example API URL that you might use for getting just parsha, and no holidays:

http://www.hebcal.com/hebcal/?v=1&cfg=json&year=now&month=x&s=on

You could use the PHP curl library to fetch the JSON from our service, then PHP's json_decode function to parse the results.

Go to http://www.hebcal.com/hebcal/ and select a city for candle-lighting times.

Excellent suggestion!

We've made a change to our page - tell us what you think!

The short answer is that we recommend your second approach: delete the current and then download a new one.

Hebcal syncs with Google Calendar on yearly (Gregorian or Hebrew) boundaries. So it's not possible to keep the old calendar through a specific date in May and then a new calendar start immediately after.

Hope this helps.

We're pushing out a change that should fix the server-side to be compatible with the widget.
