Shabbat Times in California

Halachic note

California 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.

California is home to one of the world's largest and most diverse Jewish populations, with major hubs in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. Visitors will find a vibrant Shabbat scene, with numerous synagogues, extensive kosher dining in LA, and established eruvs in key neighborhoods.
