Halachic note
Melbourne 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.
Melbourne is home to Australia's largest Jewish community, concentrated in suburbs like Caulfield and St Kilda. The city offers a vibrant Shabbat experience with numerous synagogues, an extensive eruv, and a wide array of kosher dining and takeout options.
