Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Hebrew calendar?

The Hebrew calendar is the biblical calendar used throughout scripture. It is a lunisolar calendar — months follow the moon cycle, while the year is tied to the solar cycle. God established it in Genesis 1 and formalized its structure throughout the Torah.

Why does the date change at sunset?

The Hebrew day begins at sundown, as established in Genesis 1 — "And there was evening and there was morning, the first day." Issachar's Calendar tracks your local sunset time and rolls the Hebrew date forward accordingly.

Does the app work offline?

Yes. After the first launch, all calendar content works without an internet connection. No account or sign-in is required.

Why does the app use my location?

Your approximate location is used to calculate local sunset time, so the Hebrew day rolls over at the correct moment for where you are. Your location is used only on your device and is never transmitted or stored anywhere.

What do the feast day markers mean?

Red markers indicate major biblical feast days (Pesach, Shavuot, Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, etc.). Green markers indicate minor observances. Gold markers indicate Rosh Chodesh — the new month.

What is the Time Machine feature?

Time Machine lets you navigate to any date — past or future — to see what the Hebrew calendar shows for that day. Tap the Time Machine button on the Today screen to use it.
