Reply To: If you're not with Chabad

On Friday mornings at 6am, I get a text for Shabbat start (candle lighting) and end times.

Right before Shabbat I look again at the text. Then I remember the last two numbers of the end time. I know it’s an hour after candle lighting. Sometimes I do forget. It is much harder to remember by heart on Yom Tovim that last longer than one night.

WTP: You asked, “Why do you think that chabad has an exclusive on shabbos and Judaism?”

I don’t that is why I am asking. I grew up going to Chabad and it’s still my go-to shul. I like how everything is synced. Yet it wasn’t always that way for Chabad either with technology.

Just wondering what other people do. So yes thank you for saying that people get calendars from their shuls and stores too.

You said: “Candle lighting times can be found in these calendars, or in Jewish magazines/ newspapers, or in shul bulletins”

Aha! See I didn’t think of that either. Thank you. Good to know 🙂
