Shabbat Times in Newark

Halachic note

Newark 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.

While its large Jewish community has mostly moved to the suburbs, Newark maintains a historical Jewish presence and is close to the robust communities of Essex County. Visitors should plan ahead for kosher food and synagogue services, often found in adjacent towns.
