How the times are calculated
- Sunrise and sunset are calculated at sea level. The height of the place and the hills around it are not taken into account.
- A halachic hour follows the Gra: one twelfth of the time from sunrise to sunset. It gives the latest Shema (3 hours), latest Shacharit (4), midday (6), mincha gedola (6.5), mincha ketana (9.5) and plag hamincha (10.75).
- Magen Avraham: the day is measured from 72 minutes before sunrise to 72 minutes after sunset. The latest Shema and latest Shacharit are shown by this opinion too.
- Dawn is when the sun is 16.1 degrees below the horizon, misheyakir at 11 degrees, nightfall (three small stars) at 8.5 degrees. Rabbeinu Tam: 72 minutes after sunset.
- Mincha ketana by 16.1 degrees: the day is measured from dawn to nightfall, both at 16.1 degrees.
- Shabbat begins 18 minutes before sunset, 40 in Jerusalem and 30 in Haifa. You can change the number of minutes to match your community. Shabbat ends at 8.5 degrees. Festival eves are not shown yet.
- The parasha and the holidays come from Hebcal, by the custom of Israel for places in Israel and by the custom of the diaspora elsewhere. A holiday is listed by its day; it begins the evening before.
- The Hebrew date shown is the one for the daytime. The Hebrew day begins the evening before, at sunset. You can pick a Gregorian date or a Hebrew date, and the other follows.
- The moon is drawn as it looks at midday on that day. South of the equator it looks mirrored, and it is drawn that way there.
- The molad is the one the calendar itself is built on (29 days, 12 hours and 793 chalakim from one to the next), in Jerusalem time. Kiddush Levana times are counted from it and shown in the time of the place you chose. Customs differ on when to start and how late it can be said.
- Times are rounded to the minute on the safe side: a time to finish by is rounded down, a time to wait for is rounded up.
Do not rely on the last minute. These are calculated times, and customs and opinions differ. For practical halacha, ask a rabbi.
