Shabbat, kept at the top of the page

The strip in the header carries the Hebrew date, the time of candle lighting on Friday, Havdalah at the close of Shabbat, and the Torah portion of the week.

All of it is counted for Jerusalem and shown in Jerusalem time — the city is named there on purpose, so that nobody mistakes it for the time where she happens to be. Candle lighting is taken 40 minutes before sunset, by the Israeli custom, and Havdalah when the sun stands 8.5° below the horizon.

If you keep Shabbat somewhere else in the world, take these times as a reminder rather than as your own local ones.

A question for the rabbi

Anything you cannot ask out loud in the forum can be sent to the rabbi privately. Answers come by email or on Telegram, whichever you prefer, and your question stays private unless you say otherwise.
