Halachic note
New Orleans 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.
The New Orleans Jewish community, centered in Uptown and Metairie, includes several Orthodox synagogues and Chabad centers welcoming visitors. Kosher food and Shabbat takeout can be sourced from Kosher Cajun Deli, but advance planning for meals and lodging is recommended.
