Date for Yom Kippur 2020 is wrong

The date for Yom Kippur on the calendar in 2020 is wrong. The Rosh Hashanah date is correct, and Yom Kippur is always 9 days later. The Apple calendar has September 27th, but it should be September 28th.

I know what you said. 😉

My point is that "all the other" holy days are NOT on the Date when they START = sundown the PREVIOUS DAY for those

A holy day STARTS when it STARTS, regardless of when the "majority" of the "day" occurs = Midnight to sundown (plus 1 hour ?)


What I said before is that BOTH need to be "corrected"

ALL = need to have DATE changed to reflect the SAME method - AND - need to have "All Day" removed or changed to

  • Begins at sundown, or
  • Begins at sundown the PREVIOUS DAY


I am gonna defer to the calendar that actually has expertise - https://www.hebcal.com/holidays/yom-kippur

That is definitely true that it starts the evening before, but that is the same with all Jewish holidays. Just as Rosh Hashanah starts on the evening of the 18th (in September 2020) and ends in the evening on the 19th. It is correctly shown on the calendar as being on the 19th.... therefore Yom Kippur should be listed 9 days later, like it is every year, on the 28th, not the 27th.

Again, I know that and that is totally true BUT.... the date is still wrong on iCal! All Jewish holidays are listed on the calendar in the "daytime" portion of the holiday even though the holiday actually begins at sunset the night before, so that should stay consistent. And again, Rosh Hashanah, which is ALWAYS 9 days before Yom Kippur EVERY YEAR is only 8 days this year. You can go back every year on iCal and see that there are always 9 days between the two dates, this year there are only 8. Rosh Hashanah's date is correct on the calendar, therefore the date listed for Yom Kippur is wrong since it should be listed in the daytime of that day (just like every Jewish holiday starts the night before it is listed on the calendar).


So can someone from Apple fix this?

OK, we can agree on that. Of course, most folks who observe know this. Also school closures take place on the day of, not the evening of.

I agree with both as well. All I was trying to say is that every year the Hebrew calendar dates for all holy days that have been placed on the Roman calendar are put on the "day" portion of the date, and it is usually just known by those who observe this that it actually starts the night before. So every year it has been consistent on iCal, except this year. So I was just saying that it needs to be consistent.


Okay, I'm done now :) Thank you all for your help!
