Service start times

15 minutes before closest CL

(“closest” because hebcal does not give candlelighting times for all holidays, because one does not light candles)

• Erev YK Mincha (early because of big crowds and candlelighting at shul)
• YK Neilah (timed for 75 minutes for Neilah)

• Erev RH1 Mincha (slightly early for crowds)

• Erev RH2 Mincha**
• Erev Purim Mincha (don’t always do)
• Erev Simchat Torah Mincha (often don’t do)
• Erev Tisha B’Av Mincha (don’t always do)
• Purim Mincha (don’t always do)
• Tisha B’Av Mincha (don’t always do)

**Debatable: RH2 Minchah has always been set by the committee and I have not weighed in. Technically, maariv cannot be said until F, but I think there are those who say it at E. So, in the traditional view, erev RH2 Minchah/Maariv would be C/F, or in the alternative approach C/E. If it fell on Shabbat, it would certainly be C/F. If you want to leave it to those who are actually davening, you could just list RH Mincha as C, and let those who show up decide whether to do Maariv at E or F. (This is how I listed it above)

• RH Maariv
• YK Kol Nidre

NOTE: This will be different on Motzei Shabbat - choose a few minutes after Havdallah time (allowing travel time) = 63 minutes after CL

• Purim Maariv
• Tisha B’Av Maariv

63 minutes after CL 
(=45 after sunset)

• YK Shofar
• Simchat Torah Maariv
• Motzei Tisha B’Av

 9:00 am

• RH Shacharit
• YK Shacharit

• Shabbat
• Yom Tov (even those with megillot, Hallel, etc)
