Shabbat times in Boca Raton through the year
Candle lighting in Boca Raton moves between 5:09 pm (November 27) and 7:59 pm (July 2), and Shabbat ends between 6:05 pm and 8:57 pm. The clocks change on Sunday, November 1 and Sunday, March 14, and the times jump by an hour.
How these times are calculated
Candle lighting is 18 minutes before sunset on Friday, the custom of most communities. Shabbat ends at nightfall (tzeit hakochavim), when the sun is 8.5° below the horizon and three small stars can be seen. Other communities use a fixed time after sunset:
| Custom | Shabbat ends on Sat, Oct 31 |
|---|---|
| Sun 8.5° below the horizon (three small stars) shown above | 7:15 pm |
| 50 minutes after sunset | 7:29 pm |
| 72 minutes after sunset (Rabbeinu Tam) | 7:51 pm |
Sunset is computed for the city centre at sea level, with daylight saving time when it applies. Candle lighting is rounded down to the minute and the end of Shabbat up, so both are on the safe side. We checked these times, Shabbat and holidays, against the main Jewish calendars published online: they agree to the minute, or ours are one minute on the safe side. Calculated times: when in doubt, follow your synagogue or rabbi. Methodology
