Language
Default: English Whether to represent the sensors in Hebrew (א’ תשרי תשע”ט) or English characters (1 Tishrei 5779). Valid options are ‘english’ and ‘hebrew’.
Diaspora
Default: False Consider the location as diaspora (חוץ לארץ) for calculation of the weekly portion and holidays. By default it will consider the location as Israel (One day Yom Tov), setting it to true will show a second day Yom Tov.
Minutes before sunset for candle lighting
Default: 18 minutes This defines how many minutes before sunset is considered candle-lighting time. In Israel, this is usually 20/30/40 depending on your location. Outside of Israel, you probably want to use 18/24.
Minutes after sunset for Havdalah
By default havdalah time is considered the moment the sun is 8.5 degrees below the horizon. By specifying this offset, havdalah time will be calculated as a static offset pas the time of sunset.
Latitude, Longitude, Time Zone and Elevation
