## Resource

In this episode of Everything Jewish, 10 Minutes at a Time, we tackle one of the most practical and important questions in Jewish life: When does Shabbat actually begin and end? From the moment the sun dips below the horizon on Friday evening to the appearance of three medium-sized stars on Saturday night, we break down the precise timing rules, the different opinions on candle-lighting times, nightfall (tzeit hakochavim), and why some communities wait longer than others. Whether you're new to Shabbat or have been keeping it for years, understanding these halachic cut-off points makes all the difference in observance. Join us for a clear, straightforward 10-minute guide that will help you confidently welcome and conclude Shabbat every single week.
