Displays Hebrew date, sunrise, sunset, and key times for prayers (latest Shema, earliest Plag, etc) along with multiple calculation options (GR”A, M”A). Display is highly customizable, with options to display or hide:
- Hebrew date
- Sunrise and/or sunset
- Earliest time for Plag haMincha
- Latest time to say morning Shema
Within those options, there are choices to show English or Hebrew, Ashkenazi or Sephardi transliterations, and multiple options for calculating times (GR”A, M”A, etc)
This plugin makes one JSON call to hebcal.com for the the Hebrew date. More information on how this feature works can be found here:

This plugin also makes two JSON calls to Google’s Maps API: one to obtain the latitude/longitude for the provided zip code, and another to determine the time zone for that zip code.
