Shabbat Times in Washington

Halachic note

Washington 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.

Washington, D.C. has a vibrant Jewish community of 35,000, centered in neighborhoods like Dupont Circle and Shepherd Park. For Shabbat, visitors can utilize the DC Eruv, attend historic synagogues like Ohev Sholom or Kesher Israel, and arrange for pre-ordered kosher meals.
