Shabbat in Phoenix: questions and answers
When is Shabbat candle lighting in Phoenix?
Candle lighting in Phoenix is 18 minutes before sunset on Friday. The exact time for the upcoming Shabbat is shown above. Some communities (Jerusalem, parts of the chareidi world) light earlier, typically 40 minutes before sunset; most other places use 18-22 minutes.
When does Shabbat end in Phoenix?
Shabbat ends at two distinct times: tzeit hakochavim per the Geonim (about 25-35 minutes after sunset, depending on season and latitude), and the Rabbeinu Tam time (72 minutes after sunset, the stricter opinion). Those who follow the stricter view wait until Rabbeinu Tam.
Why is candle lighting different in different cities?
Sunset falls at a different time in every city, depending on its latitude, longitude, and elevation. We compute candle lighting using the precise coordinates of Phoenix, factor in elevation (which affects the horizon), and subtract the minute count customary in that community.
Are the times the same on iPhone and Android?
Yes, identical. The Otot app on iPhone and on Android computes Shabbat times with the same engine (kosher-zmanim, derived from KosherJava, the same source as MyZmanim).
What if I missed candle lighting?
A woman who missed candle lighting before sunset cannot light on Shabbat itself. Some communities permit a husband to light if his wife forgot, but only before sunset. After sunset, no one lights. Consult your rabbi for your specific community minhag.
