Strange - I had 'american' for calendar-date-style (probably the default value) but viewing the org agenda view did work properly even though I entered bbdb anniversary dates in ISO format... Whatever... this variable can have only 3 values: american, european, iso. Neither of them is meant to represent Hebrew dates.

I placed (bbdb-initialize 'anniv) into my .emacs but even after going to Diary -> Show all (s) I don't see any bbdb entries showing up.

Emacs has calendar and diary facilities, see the node in the info manual for Emacs. In the diary file you can specify entries for different dates. The format of the dates is specified via the user variable calendar-date-style. diary-date-forms is less relevant here from a user perspective. bbdb-anniv assumes that your BBDB records use the same format for anniversary dates as you have selected for your diary file via calendar-date-style. > > (Do your Hebrew dates interact properly with the Emacs calendar?) > > How can I check it? To display BBDB anniversaries in the Emacs diary, call `bbdb-initialize' with arg `anniv'. -- Attend Shape: An AT Tech Expo July 15-16.

Any ideas on how to > get it working? You might want to ask this question on a list for org mode. bbdb-anniv.el has been designed to work with the Emacs calendar. As described in this file In particular, `calendar-date-style' is obeyed via `diary-date-forms'. Yet I do not know anything about how org mode might interact with BBDB anniversaries. You mention that you get an error from org-bbdb-anniversaries. This function is part of org mode, not of BBDB. I do not know what it is doing / what it is supposed to do.

Agenda view of BBDB entries with Hebrew dates for anniversaries
Hi, I managed to add anniversaries/birthdays to BBDB and display them in org-agenda. Now I need to move to the next step and provide those dates as Hebrew dates. In diary mode the dates seem to look like HSivan 17, 5776 . However if I put it to BBDB like anniversary: HSivan 17, 5776 birthday - I get error while trying to generate agenda view: bad-sexp at line 5 /path/to/agenda.org (org-bbdb-anniversaries). Any ideas on how to get it working? Thank you! ST -- Attend Shape: An AT Tech Expo July 15-16.
