Question
I live in a place without a Jewish community, and I don't always have the information about when Shabbat ends in my location. Is there something that can help with this?
Answer
One should see 3 small stars in a row next to each other. Since it's not always possible to see them, and it's not always clear what is a big star, medium star, and small star, one should ensure that in the west, the side where the sun set, the sky is no longer red [the further from the equator, the longer the time after sunset until these results are achieved. Also, in the summer, the time will always be longer than in the winter].
