If you use Google Calendar or Apple Calendar (and many others), you can subscribe to one or more of the JGSGB calendars so that our events appear automatically in your calendar (and get updated whenever we modify an entry).

There are currently ten calendars. The main calendar (JGSGB Programs) includes our regular monthly events and other general events, such as the Research Sundays and Annual Lecture at Hebrew College. In addition, there are separate calendars for each of our seven local Special Interest Groups (Belarus, Galicia, Germany, Litvak, Poland, Sephardic, and Ukraine) so you can attach any of them individually that interest you. Finally, there is a calendar for the JGSGB Book Group and a calendar for JGSGB Connect.

There are several ways to subscribe to the calendars, but most people have succeeded using the so-called iCal URL. Here they are for each of the calendars. Specific directions are given further below for users of Google Calendar (here) and Apple Calendar (here).
