Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech haolam, asher kideshanu bemitzvotav vetzivanu lehadlik ner shel Shabbat.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to kindle the light of Shabbat.
How it is calculated
The times in Long Beach are calculated for latitude 40.5886 and longitude -73.6583, in the America/New_York time zone. Candles are lit 18 minutes before sunset, as is customary in communities outside Israel. Shabbat ends at 8.5 degrees below the horizon. Where a lighting is marked from an existing flame, the festival begins after nightfall and no new fire is made.
You can choose 18, 20 or 40 minutes before sunset in the live view.
