Shabbat candle-lighting and ending times for Parashat Balak
Parashat Balak is the seventh weekly portion in the Book of Numbers. It begins at Numbers 22:2 and ends at Numbers 25:9. In the Diaspora, in years when the second day of Shavuot falls on Shabbat, Balak is read together with Parashat Chukat.
The portion centers on the prophecies of Balaam son of Beor, whom Balak, king of Moab, summoned to curse the people of Israel. The article also lists Shabbat entry and exit times for several Israeli cities.
In Jerusalem, Shabbat begins at 19:13 and ends at 20:31. In Tel Aviv, the times are 19:30 and 20:34, and in Haifa, 19:25 and 20:36.
Other times given are Beersheba, 19:30 to 20:31; Hebron, 19:33 to 20:31; Gush Etzion, 19:33 to 20:31; Ariel, 19:19 to 20:33; Eilat, 19:14 to 20:26; and Safed, 19:26 to 20:34.
