Hebcal.com makes free Jewish holiday calendars. Hebrew date conversion, candle lighting times, Torah Hebcal doesn’t have a denominational bias. Michael J.

Hebcal (pronounced HEEB-kal, as in Hebrew calendar) is a free Jewish calendar and holiday web site. Our mission is to increase awareness of Jewish holidays and to help Jews to be observant of the mitzvot. We offer a powerful custom Jewish calendar tool that lets you generate a list of Jewish holidays for any year (past, present or future). Also available are a Hebrew date converter, Shabbat candl

e lighting times and Torah readings (both full kriyah and triennial system), and a page to look up yahrzeits, birthdays and anniversaries. We’re not Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist, Renewal, Liberal, or Humanist. We are observant of the mitzvot, and we offer this website because we want to help other Jews with their observance. Hebcal was created in 1994 by Danny Sadinoff as a Unix/Linux program. Radwin released a web interface in April 1999 to allow Microsoft Outlook and Palm Desktop downloads of Jewish holiday data. Today, Danny and Michael collaborate on the underlying holiday and candle-lighting calculation engine and Michael does most of the web development.

Hebcal Hebrew Calendar provides watch face complications with today’s Hebrew date and this week’s Torah portion. The watch app displays the next 60 days of Hebrew/Gregorian dates and upcoming Jewish holidays. No frills, no gimmicks, no notifications, just an easy way to glance at the date and parsha.

The Hebrew date and weekly Torah portion can be displayed as transliterations in Sephardic (e.g. “Shabbat” or “Sukkot”) or Ashkenazi (e.g. “Shabbos” or “Sukkos”) or in Hebrew (e.g. “שַׁבָּת” or “סוּכּוֹת”). Select Israel from the settings if you are based in Israel and want to see the Israeli Jewish holiday & Torah reading schedule. The default setting is for Diaspora (outside of Israel).

The app requires an iPhone with iOS 13.0 or later and an Apple Watch® with watchOS 7.0 or later. The app requires an iPhone to install, but there is no companion iPhone app. It runs only on the watch.

iPhone and Android apps will come eventually. Please stay tuned!

If have an iPhone but no Apple Watch, you can still get Hebcal holidays on your device via our download/subscribe process.
