Features:

• Automatically fetches Shabbat start and end times based on user-defined location.
• Displays a customizable overlay with title and message during Shabbat.
• Allows administrators to bypass the overlay for site management purposes.
• Provides settings to enable or disable the blocker and customize overlay content.
