The date displayed uses the web browser’s local timezone to determine today’s date. Any time after 20:00 (8:00pm in the evening) is considered “after sunset” so the Hebrew date displayed corresponds to the next day.
Torah reading of the week. Feeds are in the format https://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/index-en.xml or https://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/israel-en.xml and available for multiple languages.
If you’re having difficulty using the default importing Hebcal to Google Calendar instructions, here is an alternative technique to try that replaces the “subscribe” step with downloading and uploading.
Note that this technique requires a laptop/desktop computer (macOS, Windows, Linux), and generally will not work on a tablet or a phone.
Please note carefully step 10 and step 15 below. These steps have you create a new, separate calendar to upload your Hebcal events. A separate calendar allows you to assign a different color and notifications to events. If you skip these steps you may inadvertently merge Hebcal events with your own calendar events, and this will make it difficult to remove Hebcal events in the future should you choose to do so.
9. Click the large + (Plus) button next to the “Other calendars” list on the left-hand side of the page
10. Select “Create new calendar”. A separate calendar allows you to assign a different color and notifications to events.
11. On the “Create new calendar page”, type the name “Hebcal” or “Jewish holidays” or whatever you’d like to call it, and click the blue Create calendar button
12. Back on the mail Google Calendar page, once again click the large + (Plus) button next to the “Other calendars” list on the left-hand side of the page
13. Select Import from the pop-up menu
14. Click on the grey Select file from your computer box, browse to your Downloads folder, choose the hebcal_YYYY.ics file that contains your events, then click Open
15. Change the calendar option from the default (e.g. “Events”) calendar to your new, separate “Jewish holidays” calendar that you created earlier in Step 10.
Please don’t skip this step! If you don’t select the correct “Jewish holidays” calendar, you will merge Hebcal events with your own calendar events. This will make it difficult to remove merged Hebcal events in the future should you choose to change your calendar settings.
Select “Jewish holidays” instead of “Events”
16. Confirm that the “Add to calendar” box says “Jewish holidays”, then click the import button
17. Wait a minute or two for your web browser to upload the .ics file to Google and for Google Calendar to finish processing the events.
18. Google will report that the calendar successfully imported some number of events, then click the blue OK button.
To unsubscribe from a perpetual Hebcal calendar feed in Google Calendar, you can follow the steps in Google’s Delete or unsubscribe from a calendar help article. Here is a brief summary:
2. On the left-hand side of the page, find the Hebcal calendar you wish to remove under the Other calendars section
3. Click the vertical ellipsis (three dots) next to the calendar to bring up the context menu
4. When the context menu pops up, click Settings
5. On the left-hand side, click Remove calendar
6. Click the Unsubscribe button
7. Click Remove calendar when prompted “Are you sure you want to remove Jewish Holidays ✡️? You’ll no longer have access to this calendar and its events.”
