What does this tool do?

Hebrew calendar generator builds a printable PDF calendar for a full Hebrew year, Tishrei through Elul, one month per page (12 pages in a regular year, 13 in a leap year, when Adar splits into Adar I and Adar II). Each Friday shows a candle-lighting time and each Saturday a Havdalah time, with Yom Tov days showing candle-lighting or Havdalah, whichever applies, calculated for a location you choose without repeating an equivalent time across consecutive applicable days. Every Saturday also shows the weekly Torah portion, and the same day shading and Hebrew-date labels from the general Calendar generator carry over automatically. Add your own photos and one-off events, then download the finished calendar as a single PDF.

When should you use this tool?

  • You want candle-lighting, Havdalah and tzeit hakochavim times for every week of the year, not just holidays
  • You want the weekly Torah portion printed alongside the date
  • You think in Hebrew-year terms (Tishrei to Elul) rather than the Gregorian January to December
  • You already use the general Calendar generator and want these extras added on top

Frequently asked questions

Why does the calendar year run Tishrei through Elul instead of January through December?
The Hebrew calendar's own year boundary is Rosh Hashanah, the first of Tishrei, not January 1st. This calendar follows that native structure: one download covers one full Hebrew year, 12 months in a regular year or 13 in a leap year, when Adar splits into Adar I and Adar II.
How accurate are the candle-lighting, Havdalah and tzeit hakochavim times?
They're calculated from your chosen location's coordinates using standard astronomical formulas, the same underlying approach most calendar apps use. They're a reasonable reference, not a religious ruling. Elevation, the visible horizon, atmospheric conditions, high latitudes, and the selected calculation method can affect the result, so confirm exact times with your rabbi or local community practice, especially for a stringency-sensitive occasion.
Why do I need to pick a location at all?
Sunset time depends on exact latitude and longitude, and shifts by several minutes even between nearby cities. Candle-lighting, Havdalah and tzeit hakochavim are all defined relative to sunset, so there's no single correct time without a location.
What is tzeit hakochavim, and why are there two ways to set it?
Tzeit hakochavim ("emergence of the stars") marks when Shabbat or a holiday ends. Different communities define it either as a fixed number of minutes after sunset, or as the moment the sun reaches a specific angle below the horizon. Both are offered here since neither is universal.
Is my location or any of my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Your photos, event details, coordinates, and generated calendar are processed locally and are not uploaded to Orisod.
