Halachic note

Cape Town 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.

Cape Town's Jewish community in Sea Point and the Atlantic Seaboard is one of the most established in the southern hemisphere.
