Shabbat Times in Jerusalem

Halachic note

Jerusalem follows the local custom of lighting candles 40 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.

Jerusalem observes a 40-minute candle-lighting offset before sunset, the long-standing local minhag. Shabbat in Jerusalem is felt across the entire city — traffic quiets, sirens mark candle lighting, and the streets fill with people walking to shul. Whether you're staying in the Old City, Rehavia, or one of the Mamilla or city-center hotels, Shabbat times below are calculated for the city's coordinates and are reviewed weekly.
