Yahrzeit Directory

A plain explanation of how every zman on the Jewish calendar is worked out — alos, hanetz, latest shema and tefillah, chatzos, mincha, plag hamincha, shkia and tzeis hakochavim.

Every zman is calculated for the city you pick in the zmanim box: type an address, drop a pin on the map, choose one of the popular cities, or press “use my location”.

Your choice is kept in your browser, so the calendar and the zmanim box always show the same city. Until you pick a place, the times shown are for Kiryas Joel.

The time zone and daylight saving are taken from the coordinates of that place, so the times are already in the local clock time of the city you picked.

On the calendar, Friday shows a candle icon with the time 15 minutes before shkiah, and Shabbos shows a sparkle icon with tzeis hakochavim — 72 minutes after shkiah. Hover over the icon to see which zman it is.

Every zman measured in zmanis hours has two reckonings: the Magen Avraham measures the day from alos until tzeis hakochavim, the Gra from sunrise until shkiah. The Magen Avraham hours are the longer ones, so its morning zmanim fall earlier and its afternoon zmanim later.

In the zmanim list an unmarked zman is always the Magen Avraham. The Gra time is shown under it in smaller type, and appears once you switch on “Full zmanim” in the zmanim box options.

How zmanim are calculated

Send the short code or the zip code — either one works. For any other place, send its zip code or the name of the city.

Get zmanim by text message (SMS) — text your zip code or city to (845) 209-2361 and get back the zmanim for today, tomorrow or any date.

Send full and the lines marked "with full" come back too, and every time is given to the second.

The reply carries the day of the week, the parsha, the Hebrew and the civil date, and the zmanim. The zmanim are labelled like this:
