Arutz Sheva’s Israel desk is stopping its round-the-clock news updates of IsraelNationalNews.com at this time in honor of the Sabbath and the holiday of Shavuot. Jerusalem candle lighting time is 19:26 Summer Time (Friday).

Arutz Sheva’s North American desk will continue to keep you informed until just before candle lighting time in New York at 20:09 EDT. The time posted automatically on all Arutz Sheva articles, however, is Israeli time.

Our services will resume with the end of Shavuot in Israel on Sunday night.
