Shabbat Times in Boston

Halachic note

Boston 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.

Boston has a large, historic Jewish community centered in Brookline, Newton, and Brighton, with strong academic ties. Visitors will find a robust infrastructure for Shabbat observance, including a well-maintained eruv, numerous synagogues, and plentiful kosher dining options.
