Jewish holidays on ICal

I have subscribed to the Jewish holidays from the iCal calendar subscription choices and the subscription stops at the end of this year — Jewish holidays for 2007 are not showing. Just FYI - I also subscribed to the U.S. holidays and those do show for 2007, so this looks like something going on specifically with the Jewish holiday material. What's the story?

That calendar only contains data for 2004-2006 so it looks like someone at Apple hasn't been keeping it up to date.

Perhaps the 2007 iCal calendar on this site will work for you. http://www.hebcal.com.

If not try this Google search

Thanks. I already knew about hebcal.com but really wanted to have those nice little colored strips with the Jewish holidays to import into iCal. Irritating that Apple is keeping us up to date on the important things in life — like pro sports games — and not bothering to update the Jewish calendar. Anyone out there listening in Appleland?

Thanks! Thought I had investigated that site, but missed this item.

I've got it! I also had this issue, but now I've noticed what the problem is. Apple always linked to hebcal.com to supply iCal users with Jewish Holidays. However, the URL has changed to http://www.hebcal.com/ical/jewish-holidays.ics, where formerly (and still on Apple's site) it was http://www.hebcal.com/ical/jewish32holidays.ics.

The correct link is on the homepage of hebcal.com, but you can also just replace the '32' with '-' in the "from URL" of the shared calendar.

The discussion webapp engine broke the first link in my earlier post, it's http://www.hebcal.com/ical/jewish-holidays.ics without the trailing comma.

THANK YOU! I could not figure out what was wrong, and my Jewish mother is pretty unhappy with my schedule conflict on Passover eve 1.

The problem seems broader. Since I changed to Entourage 2004 my Jewish and Christian holidays disappeared in iCal. What are they are afraid of?

If you go to http://www.hebcal.com/ical/ you can get a 10 years worth of Jewish Holiday (2007-2016).
Cheers,
