During the summer months, Shir Hadash’s Friday night minyan meets earlier than the regularly announced Shabbat Candle-lighting times. For a summary of the Halachik basis for this practice, read here. Below, please find the schedule for Mincha (which takes place before Plag Mincha) and Maariv (after Plag) for the duration of this ‘early’ minyan. In terms of candle-lighting, there are two options: One, to light about 20 minutes after the announced Mincha time; or two, if the person lighting candles is not participating in the minyan, and does not plan on taking Shabbat in early, she may light at the normal candle-lighting time (even though others in her family may have already taken in Shabbat).
