HALACHIC TIMES for Jerusalem
Correct for TT #464

Summer Time goes into effect in Israel on the night following the Seder (first night of Chol HaMoed, a.k.a. the first night of the Omer - "last night we didn't count")

The Z'MANIM that are given as ranges will cover a two week period, from THU to THU April 5-19. All ranges will be in Standard time for the beginning of the range and in Summertime for the end of the range. Keep that in mind when you extrapolate for dates within the range. You either have to add an hour to the first time before you calculate or subtract an hour from the second time, depending upon what date you are figuring for.
