Hi! I'm Abe, a developer passionate about making Jewish life more accessible through technology. My Hebrew Dates was born from a personal challenge: keeping track of family events that follow the Hebrew calendar while using modern digital tools.

After years of manually converting dates and maintaining multiple calendars, I realized there had to be a better way. That's why I created My Hebrew Dates—to bridge the gap between traditional Jewish date-keeping and modern calendar applications.

Today, My Hebrew Dates helps families worldwide stay connected to their important dates, making it easier to honor traditions while embracing modern convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Google Calendar typically updates external calendars every 12-24 hours. Additionally, it caches events. This means even if you make immediate changes or delete and re-add the calendar, you might still see the old data until Google refreshes its cache. Please be patient and allow some time for updates to reflect.

While our platform doesn't currently have a feature for bulk event addition, you can contact the developer to assist with adding events in bulk. Please note that this specialized service will come with a fee.

Customizing alarm times is now possible on MyHebrewDates! Simply append ?alarm=HOUR to the end of an calendar's URL. Here's how:
  • For a 9 AM alarm: Add ?alarm=9 to the URL.
  • For a 7 AM alarm: Change it to ?alarm=7.
  • To get an alert the night before at 9 PM: Use ?alarm=-3.
This feature allows you to personalize your event reminders to a time that suits you best.
