Candle Lighting Times

Shabbat candles are traditionally lit 18 minutes before sunset on Friday, so the time changes every week and depends on where you live. Look up your times here once a month and write them into the weekly spreads of your planner.

Finding a Hebrew Date

The Hebrew calendar follows the moon, so a Hebrew date lands on a different secular date every year. Birthdays, anniversaries and yahrzeits (the anniversary of a loved one’s passing) are traditionally marked on the Hebrew date.
