Daily Jewish Holidays Showing Up

All of a sudden, I am getting alerts for Jewish holidays almost every day, even though the only calendars I have checked are US Holidays and Calendar (my own). These holidays are NOT showing up in my actual calendar, but only as alerts. Why, and how do I get this to stop?

Hey there mccarlson,


If this is only happening with alerts, check your Calendar app settings to see if you can adjust those alert options:


To change these settings in the Calendar app  on your Mac, choose Calendar > Settings, then click Alerts.


To view how each of those options work, use this resource: Change Alerts settings in Calendar on Mac - Apple Support


Take care!

Thank you! I called Apple Support about this and discovered that US Holidays on Calendar includes lots and lots of holidays I'd never heard of. It turns out that the alert I kept getting was for Ashura, which is a Muslim holiday I had not known of. So I guess it's a good opportunity to be better educated about religions that are practiced in the US.
