Halachic note
Johannesburg 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.
Johannesburg is home to a large, vibrant, and well-organized Jewish community, primarily in neighborhoods like Glenhazel and Sandton. Shabbat observance is robust, supported by numerous synagogues, extensive kosher food options, and a reliable eruv under the supervision of the UOS Beth Din.
