Shabbat Shalom! But Wait, Is Shabbat Over Yet? A Guide for the Chronologically Challenged in Detroit
Hey there, fellow citizens of Motown! Ever rocked out to some Stevie Wonder on a Friday night, only to realize on Sunday afternoon that you might have forgotten the whole "resting on the Sabbath" thing? No worries, we've all been there. Maybe you got caught up in a Coney Island hot dog eating contest (those things are epic), or maybe you just zoned out to a particularly funky Motown playlist. Either way, figuring out when Shabbat ends in Detroit can be tricky.
Fear not, for I, your friendly neighborhood time detective (with a killer sense of rhythm, of course), am here to crack the code!
Here's the lowdown: Shabbat typically ends after sundown on Saturday. But since sundown can be a bit of a slippery character, depending on the time of year, it's best to consult a reliable source.
Enter the amazing world of online Zmanim charts! These nifty little charts tell you exactly when Shabbat starts and ends, along with a bunch of other cool Jewish timekeeping stuff. Think of them like a decoder ring for the Jewish calendar.
Here are a few resources to get you started:

- The Orthodox Union: The OU also provides Zmanim charts, along with a whole bunch of other interesting info about Jewish life. They might not have the coolest website design, but the info is solid. [OU.org]
