Shabbat Times in Rochester

Halachic note

Rochester 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.

Rochester is home to a welcoming Jewish community of 18,000, centered in Brighton. Visitors will find a robust infrastructure for Shabbat observance, including an eruv, multiple synagogues, and kosher takeout options from Lipman's Kosher Market, all within a close-knit area.
