Miscellaneous utility skills for Jewish users — shabbat times, zmanim, parsha, hebrew date conversion, upcoming holidays, and daf yomi. Wraps the hebcal MCP server. Onboarding captures the user's location for location-dependent skills.
npx claudepluginhub danielrosehill/claude-code-plugins --plugin jewish-utilitiesReturn halachic times (zmanim) for the user's saved location for today or a specified date — alot, sunrise, latest shema, latest tefillah, chatzot, mincha gedolah/ketana, plag, sunset, tzeit hakochavim, candle-lighting, havdalah. Supports GR"A and MG"A opinions. Requires onboarding first.
Return today's Daf Yomi (or a specified date's daf) — masechet, daf number, link to Sefaria, and link to common audio shiurim (Hadran, OU Torah, YUTorah).
List upcoming Jewish holidays — major yom tov, minor holidays, fasts, and rosh chodesh — for the next N days, the rest of the current Hebrew year, or a specified Gregorian/Hebrew year. Diaspora vs. Israel observance is honored based on the user's saved location.
Convert a date between Gregorian and Hebrew calendars in either direction. Handles before/after sunset (Hebrew dates roll over at sunset, not midnight) when location is configured.
Offer to install Claude Code plugins that complement jewish-utilities. The primary companion is `jewish-texts-reference` (Sefaria text lookups for Tanakh, Talmud, Mishnah, Halakha, plus nikkud add/strip). Use when the user asks about installing companions, or proactively after onboarding.
First-run setup for the jewish-utilities plugin. Captures the user's location (city, latitude, longitude, timezone) and writes it to a config file so that location-dependent skills (shabbat-times, zmanim) can read it without re-asking each time. Run this once before using shabbat-times or zmanim, or any time the user moves.
Return this week's Torah portion (parsha) — name in Hebrew and transliteration, verse range, summary, and a link to the full text on Sefaria. Optionally accepts a date to look up a different week.
Get candle-lighting and havdalah times for the upcoming (or a specified) shabbat. Uses the location saved by the `onboard` skill. Calls the zmanim MCP server (preferred) or hebcal MCP/REST as fallback.

After install, restart Claude Code, then run:
/jewish-utilities:onboard
to set your location (required for shabbat-times and zmanim).

claude mcp add zmanim -- uvx zmanim-mcp-server
hebcal MCP server — calendar/holiday/parsha/daf-yomi/date-conversion tools (mcp__jungle-shared__hebcal__*). Fallback: the public hebcal REST API (https://www.hebcal.com/home/195/shabbat-times-rest-api).
jewish-texts-reference plugin (optional, recommended) — inline Tanakh/Talmud/Mishnah text via Sefaria, instead of link-outs.
These aren't required dependencies — they're tools the skills reference, recommend, or could be extended with:
hebrew-date-convert.gematria skill.Per-user config (location, candle-lighting offset, havdalah method, nusach) is stored at:
${CLAUDE_USER_DATA:-${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/claude-plugins}/jewish-utilities/config.json
Nothing is written to ~/.claude/plugins/jewish-utilities/ (that directory is replaced on plugin update).
