Hebcal gives me the date and time for candle lighting and havdala like so:

sambo at zeraim:~$ hebcal -C jerusalem -cerm 42
1.1.2010	Candle lighting:  4:06
2.1.2010	Havdalah (42 min): 5:28
8.1.2010	Candle lighting:  4:11
9.1.2010	Havdalah (42 min): 5:34

(42 minutes for havdala, default is 72)

etc... for the whole year.  You can also get a specific date.  I haven't yet figured out how to get it to give me "this week", but simple enough to parse the date out of the output.
