Question
Hello and thank you for all the help. Some publish brochures with unreliable schedules for sunset times, which is very serious if it concerns Niddah and prayer times. They claim that in Jerusalem and other cities, the schedules are misleading and can be off by up to five minutes because they are based on assumptions for the entire city and region. Is there any truth to this? Who is for and who is against? What should be done in practice?
Answer
Hello
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Ovadia Fried, shlita, one should be stringent and consider 5 minutes before the listed time.
