Shavuot, Shabbat candle-lighting times for Israel and US

As Shavuot approaches, The Jerusalem Post is providing essential information for our readers in Israel and across the globe. The holiday, commemorating the giving of the Torah, begins in Israel on Thursday, May 21, and concludes on Friday, May 22, just as Shabbat commences. This convergence of sacred observances requires careful timing for lighting candles and observing traditions.

We understand the importance of accurate timing for these significant religious events. Therefore, we have compiled a comprehensive list of candle-lighting times for Shavuot and Shabbat for major cities, including New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beersheba, and Eilat. This ensures that all our readers can prepare and celebrate these holy days with the proper observance, whether they are in the heart of Israel or observing from afar.

For those outside Israel, Shavuot concludes on Sunday, May 23, following the end of Shabbat. The Jerusalem Post remains committed to serving the Jewish community by providing timely and relevant information, helping you stay connected to your traditions and faith, no matter where you are in the world.
