Shabbat Times in Mexico City

For Friday 2026-08-21

Halachic note

Mexico City 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.

Mexico City is home to a vibrant, multi-generational Jewish community of 50,000, with strong Sephardic and Ashkenazi roots. Shabbat is actively observed in neighborhoods like Polanco and Tecamachalco with plentiful kosher food, synagogues, and a welcoming atmosphere.
