About Jewish Prayer Times in Five Towns
The Zmanim (halachic times) above are calculated for Five Towns's exact coordinates (latitude 40.6151, longitude -73.7346, elevation 3m) using the NOAA Solar Calculator. The times are recomputed each day from the sun's actual position, so they remain accurate year-round without any manual adjustment.
How to Use These Prayer Times
- Alot HaShachar — the earliest time for most morning mitzvot.
- Misheyakir — the earliest time to put on tzitzit and tefillin.
- Sof Zman K'riat Shema — the deadline to recite the morning Shema; the earliest time to say Shema is from sunrise (netz hachama). Do not delay past this deadline.
- Chatzos — divides morning from afternoon; the latest time for certain daytime mitzvot.
- Mincha Gedola / Ketana — the window for the afternoon prayer (Mincha); Mincha Gedola is the earliest time, Mincha Ketana is the preferred time.
- Tzait HaKochavim — nightfall; the end of Shabbat, Yom Tov, and fast days.
