These times, in your inbox
The Thursday Brief carries the coming Shabbos times at the top of every issue, so you do not have to come looking for them.
How these are calculated
Times come from Hebcal, computed for each village’s own zip code rather than applied from one point and rounded. Candle lighting is 18 minutes before sunset, which is the common practice here.
We publish these rather than compose them, and we never let a model near them. If a time on this page disagrees with your shul’s luach, follow your shul. Tell us at editor@5tbrief.com and we will look at it.
