Hi,
I managed to add anniversaries/birthdays to BBDB and display them in
org-agenda. Now I need to move to the next step and provide those dates
as Hebrew dates. In diary mode the dates seem to look like HSivan 17,
5776 . However if I put it to BBDB like anniversary: HSivan 17, 5776
birthday - I get error while trying to generate agenda view: bad-sexp at
line 5 /path/to/agenda.org (org-bbdb-anniversaries). Any ideas on how to
get it working?
Thank you!
ST

Could you show an ECM demonstrating the issue? Thank you.

1. Get into BBDB mode
2. add new record with the field:
anniversary: HSivan 17, 5776 birthday
(that is the way you specify a Hebrew date in diary by pressing "i h d"
or Diary -> Insert Hebrew -> One time)
3. Get into Org mode
4. Generate Agenda view: C-c a a
Thank you!

I see.
AFAICT, Org expects anniversaries to be dates following "YYYY-MM-DD"
pattern. You may want to customize `org-bbdb-extract-date-fun' and
provide it a function to parse Hebrew dates.
