Frequently Asked Questions
What time is candle lighting in Seoul in 2016?
The table above lists the Shabbat candle-lighting time for every Friday of 2016 in Seoul, calculated from precise NOAA solar algorithms for the city's exact coordinates and elevation, 18 minutes before sunset.
What time is Havdalah in Seoul in 2016?
Havdalah times for every Saturday night of 2016 are listed in the table above, calculated at 72 minutes after sunset (Tzais 8.5 degrees). Many communities follow Rabbeinu Tam — about 50 minutes later.
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 Seoul, 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 53 weeks of 2016 are computed the same way, using the same algorithm as our weekly Seoul page. Daylight saving time is already reflected in the times shown.
