Take the 2-minute tour ×  Many people hold that one should not
make kiddush on Shabbos between the hours of 6 and 7. (Sources:
Shulchan Aruch Harav and Taamei Haminhagim, (who, in turn, bring
a Maharil, a Magen Avraham, and a Rashi in Shabbos)).  The thing
that confuses me is that all the people I know who do this,
count the hours by the clock rather than the halachic time. This
includes following the clock with time zones, and daylight
savings. So, regardless of whether Shabbos starts at 4:30 or
8:00, they will avoid kiddush between 6 and 7.  My question is,
does this make any sense at all? Is there any source for
following the clock? Furthermore, even if we do follow the
clock, can there be any reason to follow daylight savings time?

Shlchan Aruch Harav gives is for his region in Russia and in
America it is different –  simchastorah Nov 20 '11 at 7:21
