Halachic note
Houston 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.
Houston hosts one of the South's largest Jewish communities, centered in the Meyerland area. The city offers a well-established infrastructure for Shabbat observers, including a large eruv, numerous Orthodox shuls, and a variety of kosher dining and takeout options.
