How these times are worked out

Candle lighting is set eighteen minutes before sunset in most communities - forty in Jerusalem - and havdalah when three stars are visible, taken here as nightfall. Both are calculated from the city's own coordinates and rendered in its own timezone, so they are the times you would actually keep there rather than a conversion of somebody else's.

Communities differ by a few minutes. If yours keeps a different custom, follow it.

A dash means there is no ordinary Shabbat reading or havdalah that week, which happens when a festival falls on or beside the Shabbat.

Never work this out again

A date you calculate today is a date you will have forgotten by next year. Keep it instead: the Hebrew date lands in your own calendar - Google, Apple or Outlook - on the right day, every year, for everyone in the family at once.
