Arutz Sheva is stopping its round-the-clock news updates of IsraelNationalNews.com at this time in honor of the Sabbath. Jerusalem candle lighting time is 18:56 Summer Time (Friday). Arutz Sheva's North American desk will keep you informed until just before the 19:49 EDT New York candle-lighting time.

The updates will resume Saturday night from Israel, following the conclusion of Shabbat at 20:12 Jerusalem time.

Shabbat Shalom!
