The clock in Zichron Yaakov
Clocks change twice a year. Back an hour on Sunday, October 25, and forward an hour on Friday, March 26. The March 26 change comes in the early hours of a Friday, so that evening's candle lighting is already on the new clock.
Candles move 3 hours 17 minutes a year, 4:04 PM in late November to 7:21 PM in late June.

How the times are worked out
30 minutes before sunset in Zichron Yaakov
Sunset is worked out for Zichron Yaakov's coordinates, 32.57° N, 34.95° E, with @hebcal/core, the open-source calculation behind hebcal.com, and every time is shown on local clocks (Asia/Jerusalem). Shabbat ends at nightfall, when the sun is 8.5 degrees below the horizon and three stars would be out.
Most cities use 18 minutes, and most of Israel 20. Zichron Yaakov is one of the exceptions, and this page follows the local custom rather than the general one.
Each Friday is also worked out a second way, with this site's own sunrise equation, and the two are compared whenever the page is built. Some communities wait longer before havdalah, so treat the minute as close rather than binding, and follow your own community's calendar.
