The Problem
Building Jewish or Israeli applications often requires accurate data about Shabbat candle lighting and Havdalah times, Jewish holidays, and Hebrew date conversions for any location worldwide. Calculating these values yourself takes significant time to implement correctly, so the right approach is to call the Hebcal API, which provides all the data you need via free endpoints and easy-to-parse JSON.
