hebcal-swift

Hebcal is a perpetual Jewish Calendar. This library converts between Hebrew and Gregorian dates, and generates lists of Jewish holidays for any year (past, present or future).

Hebcal was created in 1992 by Danny Sadinoff as a Unix/Linux program written in C, inspired by similar functionality written in Emacs Lisp. This Swift implementation was released in 2021 by Michael J. Radwin.

import Foundation
import Hebcal

let now = Date()
let hdate = HDate(date: now, calendar: .current)

print(hdate.render(lang: TranslationLang.en))

let sedra = Sedra(year: hdate.yy, il: false)
let parsha = sedra.lookup(hdate: hdate, lang: TranslationLang.en)

print(parsha)
