The story · English

The C14 system has published the official Shabbat start and end times for Parashat Eikev, corresponding to the 17th of Av, 5786 (July 31, 2026), for cities throughout Israel and several major cities worldwide. The times include the standard candle lighting and Havdalah (end of Shabbat) times, as well as the later "Rabbenu Tam" times observed by some communities.

In Jerusalem, Shabbat begins at 19:01 and ends at 20:16, with Rabbenu Tam at 20:53. Other Israeli cities such as Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beersheba, and Netanya have similar timings, with candle lighting generally between 19:03 and 19:20 and Shabbat ending between 20:12 and 20:19. The Rabbenu Tam times range from 20:46 in Eilat to 20:55 in Safed.

Internationally, New York's Shabbat starts at 19:52 and ends at 20:58, with Rabbenu Tam at 21:24. Paris, Amsterdam, Budapest, Rome, Prague, Bangkok, and Los Angeles also have their respective times listed, reflecting local sunset and nightfall.

The article also includes the traditional blessing recited when lighting the Shabbat candles, emphasizing prayers for health, peace, and spiritual growth for oneself, family, and the Jewish people. The blessing invokes the merit of the matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah.

This detailed schedule helps observant Jews worldwide prepare for Shabbat observance in accordance with local times and customs, wishing all a peaceful and blessed Shabbat.
