Shabbat Times in Haifa

For Friday 2026-08-21

Halachic note

Haifa 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.

Haifa is home to a diverse Jewish community, from historic Ashkenazi and Sephardic populations to a significant Russian-speaking community. Shabbat observance is widespread, with numerous synagogues and robust kosher infrastructure centered in neighborhoods like Hadar HaCarmel.
