Why do Shabbat times change every week?
Sunset shifts throughout the year as the Earth tilts on its axis, and the shift is larger the farther a city is from the equator. In Johannesburg, candle lighting and Havdalah can move by an hour or more between the shortest and longest weeks of the year.
Are these times accurate for the entire year?
Yes. All 52 weeks of 2039 are computed the same way, using the same algorithm as our weekly Johannesburg page. Daylight saving time is already reflected in the times shown.
