Mincha - Kabbalat Shabbat - Maariv is 20 minutes after Candle lighting in the Wolinetz Family Shul - OHEL SHMUEL (Israel Center)
This week, Shabbat B’reishit, Mincha at 6:05pm
Please note: The timing for Mincha will allow for Kabbalat Shabbat to definitely begin before sunset, thus allowing us to fulfill the mitzva of “Tosfot Shabbat”. (Many shuls start Mincha too late for that.)
Next week, Parshat No’ach, 4:57pm (Winter Time); Lech L’cha (because of the In-house Shabbaton) will be earlier - candle lighting is 4:29pm, Mincha at 4:40pm
