This template gives the current date on the Hebrew calendar (Jewish calendar). It makes use of the template {{Current hour offset in time zone}}, so that it will show the proper date based on your chosen time zone. See below for the currently supported time zones.

Usage

edit

Default

edit
{{Hebrew calendar today in time zone}}

Without parameters, the template returns the Hebrew calendar date based on UTC (which is the server's time zone).

With time zone abbreviation

edit
{{Hebrew calendar today in time zone|time_zone[|erev][|dst=no]}}
('[...]' means 'optional', do not include the square brackets when using this template)

where

  • time_zone is the desired time zone abbreviation (see below and also the list of time zone abbreviations);
  • erev is an optional parameter to force the Hebrew calendar date to advance at 18:00 (6:00 pm) local time. See below.
  • dst is an optional parameter to disable automatic daylight saving time adjustment by setting the value to "no";
    If a DST variant of a particular time zone exists, then the time is automatically adjusted according to DST by default.

If the dst parameter is not used, the template uses {{Daylight saving in time zone}} to automatically adjust the offset according to daylight saving time (DST), if applicable.

With time offset

edit
{{Hebrew calendar today in time zone|offset=offset[|2=erev]}}
  • offset is the time offset from UTC/GMT in hours; see map below. Non-integer offsets are valid. Template cannot accommodate DST when using offset. When offset is present, any time zone abbreviation is ignored.
  • erev is an optional parameter to force the Hebrew calendar date to advance at 18:00 (6:00 pm) local time. See below.

erev parameter: Hebrew dates begin the evening before

edit

The MediaWiki software, and therefore this template, normally calculate date conversions using conventional midnight-to-midnight days. For example, this template would return the Hebrew calendar date 1 Elul 5773 for the entire Gregorian day of 7 August 2013.

However, Hebrew calendar dates actually run from sundown to sundown. Thus 1 Elul 5773 actually begins at sundown on 6 August, while 2 Elul begins at sundown on 7 August. To approximate this behavior, the parameter erev forces the template to advance the Hebrew calendar date at 18:00 (6:00 pm) in the time zone selected. Thus, at 6:00 pm on 7 August, the template would advance the Hebrew calendar date to 2 Elul. (The page might need to be purged.)

When the erev parameter is used alone, or when it used with the offset parameter, the erev parameter must be entered as 2=erev.

Supported time zones

edit

Currently the following time zones are supported:}}

SDT - Abbreviations - DST Name SDT - Offset - DST Notes
HST Hawaii Standard Time UTC−10:00 When dst is NOT set to "no", the *T, *ST and *DT variants of a particular time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably.

Otherwise (when using dst=no), *T and *ST will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and *DT will produce the offset with DST adjustment.

DST is not observed in Hawaii. It is not observed in Arizona, except in the Navajo nation, and it is not observed in Saskatchewan, except in Lloydminster.

HAT or HAST HADT Hawaii-Aleutian Standard/Daylight Time UTC−10:00 UTC−09:00

GMT BST Greenwich Mean Time /
British Summer Time
UTC+00:00 UTC+01:00 When dst is NOT set to "no", both the GMT and BST variants of this time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably.

Otherwise (when using dst=no), GMT will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and BST will produce the offset with DST adjustment.

WET WEST Western European (Summer) Time UTC+00:00 UTC+01:00 When dst is NOT set to "no", both the *ET and *EST variants of a particular time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably.

Otherwise (when using dst=no), *ET will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and *EST will produce the offset with DST adjustment.

CET CEST Central European (Summer) Time UTC+01:00 UTC+02:00
EET EEST Eastern European (Summer) Time UTC+02:00 UTC+03:00
AWT or AWST Australian Western Standard Time UTC+08:00 When dst is NOT set to "no", the *T, *ST and *DT variants of a particular time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably.

Otherwise (when using dst=no), *T and *ST will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and *DT will produce the offset with DST adjustment.

DST is not observed in the AWT time zone.

ACT or ACST ACDT Australian Central Standard/Daylight Time UTC+09:30 UTC+10:30
AET or AEST AEDT Australian Eastern Standard/Daylight Time UTC+10:00 UTC+11:00
KST Korea Standard Time UTC+09:00 DST is not observed in these time zones. It is not necessary to set dst.
JST Japan Standard Time UTC+09:00
NZT or NZST NZDT New Zealand Standard/Daylight Time UTC+12:00 UTC+13:00 When dst is NOT set to "no", the NZT, NZST and NZDT variants of this time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably.

Otherwise (when using dst=no), NZT and NZST will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and NZDT will produce the offset with DST adjustment.
