  • Gutenberg block – “Shabbat Times” with a live preview, modern card or list layout, weekly summary or single-value mode, English or Hebrew, and your site’s color and typography settings.
  • Elementor widget – “Shabbat Times” in the General category, with layout presets (card / list), location, display and style controls.
  • Beaver Builder module – “Shabbat Times” in the Basic category, with layout presets, location and display controls.
  • Modern Card Layout – optional elegant card display (layout="card") with candle and wine icons and badge times.
  • Torah & Haftarah Leyning – display weekly Torah portion (param="torah"), Haftarah (param="haftarah"), and Maftir.
  • Custom Havdalah Minutes – customize Havdalah past sunset (e.g. 42, 50, 72 minutes) globally or per shortcode/block.
  • 12-Hour & 24-Hour Formats – display times in either standard 12-hour (6:53pm) or European/military 24-hour (18:53) formats.
  • High-Availability Fallback Cache – resilient stale-cache fallback ensures your site never displays an empty widget during transient API outages.
  • Settings page (Settings > Shabbat Times) – configure site-wide default location, candle lighting minutes, Havdalah offset, time format, and RTL.
  • Candle lighting minutes before sunset, adjustable (default 18).
  • Hebrew-only RTL mode with right-to-left styling.
  • Shortcode – [hebcal_sc] works anywhere, including post titles.

External services

This plugin connects to the Hebcal Shabbat Times API (https://www.hebcal.com/shabbat/) to retrieve the Torah portion, candle lighting, Havdalah and related times that the shortcode displays.

When a page containing the shortcode is rendered (and no cached result exists; results are cached for 15 minutes), the plugin sends the location given in the shortcode: either a zip code, or a longitude, latitude and time zone ID. No visitor data is sent; only the values written in your shortcode, plus the server’s IP address as part of the normal HTTP request.
