1. Open your iPhone calendar app
The first step to adding Jewish holidays to your iPhone calendar is to open it up. To access it, simply tap the calendar icon on your home screen or open it from any other app that has a time and date function.
2. Tap the “Calendars” button
Once you’ve opened the calendar app, you’ll see a button called “Calendars” at the bottom of your screen. Tap it to view all the calendars you currently have on your phone.
3. Create a new calendar
If you don’t already have a Jewish holidays calendar on your phone, you’ll need to create a new one. To do this, tap the “Add Calendar” button and choose “New Calendar” from the options.
4. Name your calendar
Now that you’ve created a new calendar, you need to give it a name. It’s best to choose a name that helps you differentiate it from other calendars on your phone, so something like “Jewish Holidays” or “Rosh Hashanah” is ideal.
5. Set the calendar type
After creating the calendar, you’ll want to set it to reflect the Jewish calendar, which is different from the Gregorian calendar that most of us are used to. To do this, tap the “i” icon next to the calendar name, then choose “Calendar Type” and select “Hebrew” from the options. This will automatically convert the dates and timings of Jewish holidays to your iPhone calendar.
6. Add Jewish holidays
With your Jewish holidays calendar set up, it’s time to add the holidays themselves. To do so, tap the “+” icon next to the “Calendars” button and then create a new event. You can then name the event with the name of the holiday and add any additional information you need, such as location or notes.
7. Repeat the event
Most Jewish holidays occur annually, so you’ll want to make sure that the calendar automatically adds them each year. To do this, select the Jewish holiday event you just created and choose “Repeat” from the options. Then simply set it to repeat annually and it will be added to your calendar for all future years.
Conclusion
Adding Jewish holidays to your iPhone calendar is easy, and it’s an essential step towards creating a more inclusive environment. So, whether you’re Jewish or not, make sure to follow these steps and support your Jewish friends and family by adding their holidays to your calendars. By doing so, you’ll be able to better plan your time and avoid scheduling conflicts, while also showing your support for those whose traditions and beliefs may differ from your own.
