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.

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!
