Please add Sof Zman Tefila and Shema according to the Magen Avraham

Shulert | Pray Your Way 3 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 2

I have been having trouble calculating the Magen Avraham's times based on Alos and Tzeis returned by this API. Please add those two times into the API natively. I believe a lot of people will find it helpful.

We've recently completed this feature request.

In addition to previous output there are now two new outputs

sofZmanShmaMGA – Latest Shema (MGA)

Sunrise plus 3 halachic hours, according to Magen Avraham

sofZmanTfillaMGA – Latest Shacharit (MGA)

Sunrise plus 4 halachic hours, according to Magen Avraham

The source code that generates the new times is here:
