Shabbat Times in Bethesda

Halachic note

Bethesda follows the local custom of lighting candles 18 minutes before sunset. The Shabbat-end time shown uses tzeit hakochavim (8.5°). A 72-minute alternative is also shown for those who follow that opinion.

Bethesda is part of the vibrant Montgomery County Jewish community, with a well-established Orthodox population, an eruv, and access to kosher amenities. Shabbat observance is centered around local synagogues, offering a welcoming experience for visitors.
