Israel's Shabbat Times for Parshat Ha'azinu Released
The publication C14 has released the official times for the commencement and conclusion of Shabbat for Parshat Ha'azinu, corresponding to the 7th of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, 5787 (September 18, 2026). The times are provided for various locations across Israel, including Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Be'er Sheva, Eilat, and Ariel, as well as for Gaza City and Hebron.
The article also includes the specific times for Rabbeinu Tam's opinion on Shabbat's end, a later time observed by some for the conclusion of Shabbat. For Jerusalem, Shabbat enters at 6:15 PM and exits at 7:26 PM, with Rabbeinu Tam's time at 8:06 PM. In Tel Aviv, Shabbat begins at 6:31 PM and ends at 7:28 PM, with Rabbeinu Tam's time at 8:04 PM.
Additionally, the digest features the traditional blessing recited for lighting the Shabbat candles. The prayer, recited after lighting the candles and covering the eyes, asks for blessings of long life, remembrance, salvation, and divine presence for the family and all of Israel. It also includes a plea for raising wise and God-fearing children who illuminate the world with Torah and good deeds, invoking the merit of the matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah.
