PESACH TIMES

The following times are relevant throughout Pesach for determining your personal Davening times, particularly if you do not Daven at the same time as your usual Minyan would meet.

Earliest Talis & Tefilin – 5:46 AM on April 8, gradually getting earlier to 5:34 AM on April 16.

Netz Hachamah (sunrise) – 6:42 AM on April 8, gradually getting earlier to 6:30 AM on April 16.

This is the ideal time to Daven the Shacharis Shmoneh Esrai and, if possible, Shmoneh Esrai should not be Davened
before that time.

Latest Krias Shma – 9:54 AM on April 8, gradually getting earlier to 9:49 AM on April 16.

Earliest Mincha – 1:43 PM on April 8, gradually getting earlier to 1:42 PM on April 16.

The usual time for Mincha is a little before Shkia (sunset), about the same time as listed for lighting candles on Erev Shabbos or Erev Yom Tov. If Mincha is Davened significantly earlier then it is preferable to Daven Mincha prior to Plag Hamincha and Maariv following Plag Hamincha.
