I have created an program that creates an iCal calendar for the Daf Yomi cycle - Talmud Bavli. It still needs some features added, but it is up and working. To subscribe go to iCal and add the URL http://www.freshmilk.com/icaldafyomi/ and set it to refresh daily.

Features:

  • 2 days in the past + 11 days in the future - that is 14 days in total
  • Hebrew date, with important holidays, in the summary of the event
  • Reports Yoma 34 and so forth
  • Provides links to OU, Aleph Society & Daily Daf for more reading

Things I want to add/notes:

  • Only works for current cycle
  • Ship dates of Schottenstein volumes (so you know when to look for the UPS guy)
  • Support for future cycles
  • Error checking
  • Boundary checking (it will throw and error at the end of the cycle, need to fix this)
  • Number of days until end of cycle - so when you are near you can get excited!

Let me know if there if you have any other ideas.

    Hi,

    I tried to load the daf yomi calendar into ical, but I got an error message, Permission is Denied.

    Is there a trick or a way to register?

    Thank you!

    There are some issues with this PHP version working on this server. It seems to work fine on my local machine.

    If you would like me to send you a static .ics file for a couple years worth of readings, I will be happy to.
