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.”
When hebcal exports to CSV format, it puts the text “Jewish Holidays” in the Location field. That is there to make it easy to remove entries from your calendar if you got the wrong settings. For example, if you were using candle-lighting times but entered the wrong zip code, you could follow these instructions to remove all of the incorrect entries:
Open your Calendar and on the View menu point to Current View and click Events
Click the Location column heading to sort the list of holidays by Location (you should see “Jewish Holidays” in the location field for the holidays that you imported from CSV)
Click to select the first holiday you want to delete
Hold down SHIFT and click the last holiday you want to delete
Press DELETE to remove all the selected holidays from your Calendar
To delete candle-lighting times, use these instructions:
Open your Calendar and on the View menu point to Current View and click Active Appointments
Some users have a mismatch between the date format they are downloading (USA vs. European) and the setting you’re using in your control panel. This usually results in events that were supposed to take place, for example, on September 2nd instead showing up on February 9th (i.e. the date “9/2” vs. the date “2/9”).
To find out the root cause of the mismatch, go to “Regional Options” Control Panel and pick “Date”, and compare the date format you’re using. For example:
If it says “M/d/yyyy” like mine does, be sure to download the USA format from hebcal.com. If it says “dd-MMM-yy”, be sure to download European format from hebcal.com.
