This user-friendly software program is a Jewish calendar covering thousands of years, giving you dates of holidays, weekly Torah portions, candle-lighting times -- plus lots of other fun gadgets. It even lets you add birthdays and yahrzeits of loved ones, with a reminder for every year.

"Aish Luach" converts Hebrew dates to the civil calendar and vice versa. Plus it switches from English to Hebrew.

"Aish Luach" covers hundreds of cities throughout the world. Simply set the location for anywhere in the world and all times are automatically adjusted.

If you don't live in a major city, look up your location according to your zip code in the U.S. Gazetteer at: http:/www.census.gov/cgi-bin/gazetteer. (Or for those outside North America, go to http://maps.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll) This will give you the latitude and longitude for your city, which you can then enter into the calendar software.

Instructions: Click the link and save the file wherever you like. It is a simple stand-alone file and no installation is necessary. To run the program, simply click the icon. Shortcuts can be made and placed wherever you like.

"Aish Luach" is a free download from aish.com, courtesy of Yisroel Hirsh, the creator of Kaluach. (A donation is recommended to the author's synagogue in Israel.)

Excellent website, thank you for your thorough and careful attention to detail.

Recently, our son was lucky enough to enter a Jewish Day School. We, by extension, have found a caring community and a home and family for our own spiritual scholarship. Your site has been invaluable in helping all of us to understand some basics -- some background and some living historical practices of this beautiful life path and heritage. Thank you especially for the calendar. Shalom

cool website . Found my husbands barmitzah date. thanks
(31) jeffrey camson , May 21, 2003

first time-excellent-never saw anything quite like it.

aish.com- I am pleased with the range of work covered. I feel somewhat incomplete and am working to bring more of the feeling of Hasem in my life.
(30) Robert Nathan , March 9, 2003

Necessary for the 21st century and beyond

When my hard disk crashed after a lot of hard use, I was unable to check for candle lighting times for Dallas, Texas. Once replaced, I downloaded your calendar both to disk and to my new hard drive. Now, I'll be able to light candles and check yartzeit dates by using the Gregorian part of your calendar to check for the correct Hebrew date. Thanks.

(28) Iris B Falkson , January 8, 2003

When you live as far away from a Temple as I do, It is difficult to communicate with a Rabbi. Aish gives me daily e-mail that inspires me, it also gives me a way to stay in touch with my inner soul.

Luach in Mac Format

For the time being; there's a freeware Luach for your Macintosh at apple.com. Type in the search field: Jewish Calendar and choose the first of the 5 hints, download the file. Jewish Calendar is a simple but nice application.
TIP: To launch Jewish Calendar easily; put this application in the Apple-Menu folder.

Dear Aish -
Your calendar is not only nifty and halachically universal, it has enabled me to align my jewish life with my work schedule so neatly, that my boss was impressed with my organization - deficient until then. Thank you

This luach brings yiddishkeit to wherever you want to take it, and for those of us not working in a jewish environment it is more than a practical tool, it's a daily reminder of who we are.
Thank you!
