For Friday 2026-08-21

Halachic note

Tzfat follows the local custom of lighting candles 40 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.

Tzfat, a historic center of Kabbalah, offers a deeply spiritual Shabbat experience. The city's Old Jewish Quarter is home to a diverse community and ancient synagogues, with a unique custom of welcoming Shabbat 40 minutes before sunset, reflecting its mystical traditions.
