Toms River, New Jersey Bris Timing Chart (2026–2027 / 5787):
This chart is meant as an approximate guide to determine the timing of a Bris. For more info about a Shabbos Bris, see this article.
These times show Friday Shkiah (sunset) for Toms River, New Jersey. If your baby is born close to these times, please contact me or your Rabbi to confirm the correct halachic day of birth.
Non-Friday births:
Before Shkiah (sunset) → that day counts as Day 1. The Bris will be the following week, the same day.
After Shkiah (sunset) → the next day becomes Day 1. The Bris will be the following week, the next day.
Friday births:
Before Shkiah (sunset) → Bris is the next Friday.
After Shkiah (sunset) → If the birth was after Tzeis (3 Stars), which depends on local custom, the Bris will be the following Shabbos.
If the birth happened in between Shkiah (sunset) and Tzeis (3 stars), the birth is considered a safek (questionable) whether the birth was on Friday or Shabbos. Hence the Bris cannot be on Friday, because it may be day 7 (if the birth was Shabbos), and it also cannot be on Shabbos, because a Bris can only be on Shabbos if it is day 8, and Shabbos may be day 9 (if the birth was Friday).
