Are there any Sabbath keepers here that keep the Sabbath from Friday 6pm to Saturday 6pm?

Hi Mark. We keep it as sundown to sundown. Love our Erev Shabbat! Such a beautiful time. Blessings!

We strictly speaking keep it from sunset to sunset, BUT...

With me working and sunset being so early in the UK during winter, I then aim to have everyone settled by 6pm as I only get home around 5pm. We then keep Shabbat for 24 hours.

So that said, we thereby indirectly keep it from 6pm to 6pm, but not on a Jewish or Scriptural basis, but due to work pressures and only when the sunset is earlier than 6pm.

We are living in Babylon, so I try to keep Father's laws as close as I can and ask His forgiveness where I am not able to due to the wordly system.

Just to make it clear, this and the consumption of certain E-numbers are the only laws that I am still "working on" due to circumstances...

I live in Canada where the sun can set as early as 4 pm in the winter time and as late as 10 pm in the summer time. I don't know of any groups that do this, but I have personally decided to keep Shabbat from Friday 6pm to Saturday 6pm.

Scriptures says to keep Sabbath from sunset to sunset. But you have to take into account that the sun sets differently in various parts of the world; especially in the northern parts of the world. It is not like in Israel where the sun sets at almost the same time throughout the year.

This method is definitely followed by those who live at or near the Arctic region where there is 6 months of darkness followed by 6 months of daylight.

I know that I can't point to a Bible verse that says to keep Shabbat at 6pm, but I do think that doing so meets the spirit of the commandment since 6pm is the approximate sunset times in the land of Israel.

We do keep the sabbath on Friday to Saturday with the sunset in our area. We live near a mountain range so our sunset is usually 30 minutes before the nearest town which is 7 miles away.

And I've always wondered how you guys did it up there due to the sun situation. We live in southern USA so its pretty regular. I read somewhere that Matisyahu did a concert up there and that since "technically" the sun didn't set the concert lasted all night?
