About zmanim
What are zmanim?
Zmanim ("times") are the halachic times that structure the Jewish day — dawn, the latest time to say Shema, halachic noon, sunset, nightfall, and more. They shift daily with the sun's position at your location.
What time is candle lighting?
Shabbat candle lighting is customarily 18 minutes before sunset on Friday. Enter your location above to see this week's exact time.
Why do zmanim differ between opinions like the Gra and Magen Avraham?
Halachic authorities calculate the "halachic hour" from different endpoints of the day (sunrise-to-sunset vs. dawn-to-nightfall), so times like the latest Shema differ by opinion. The tool shows both where they diverge.
