Good to know
- Candles are lit 18 minutes before sunset, as Hebcal’s calendar gives it for Denver.
- Havdalah, and the candles of a holiday’s second night, are at nightfall, when the Sun is 8.5° below the horizon and three small stars can be seen. Some communities wait longer, up to 72 minutes after sunset.
- Outside Israel, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, Pesach and Shavuot are kept for two days, as here.
- Sunset is worked out from NOAA’s solar equations for 39.7° N, 105° W, at sea level; hills and buildings change what you see by a minute or two.
- Your synagogue’s calendar may differ; follow it.
