Hi tech --
Reminded by the recent email to tech@ about calendar.christian, I
took a look at syncing calendar.judaic.
This diff does the following:
1. Sync the holiday days that are not connected to Pesach, which on
our calendar is Chanukah, Fast of 10 Tevet, and Yom Yerushalayim.
2. Add the holidays that are explicitly mentioned on the Wikipedia
page of Jewish holidays, which adds Tu B'Shevat to our calendar.
3. Replace the year marker on Rosh Hashana with the current Jewish
year (5741 => 5779). This calendar has to be updated yearly as it
is anyway, so it seems odd to me not to put the current year if
we're going to list a year in connection with Rosh Hashanah.
It looks like mickey@ removed Yom HaAtzmaut some years ago due to
the understanding that this be a religious and not secular
calendar. Which is a perfectly legitimate stance, as there is no
universal yes or no as to whether or not the Israeli rememberance
holidays are religious holidays, both in Israel and in the dispora.
So we either need to remove Yom Yerushalayim for the same reason,
or add back Yom HaAtzmaut, and add Yom HaShoah and Yom Hazikaron.
Doesn't matter to me either way. It might be nice to include Yom
HaShoah in either event, as it is likely to become a universal
Jewish religious holiday within our lifetimes. Whatever is decided
having Yom Yerushalayim by itself is the strangest of all worlds.
And I'll volunteer to keep this calendar synced since I might be
the only one who cares about it.
OK?
