VesperalbaNew York and Tel Aviv: time difference and the hours you share
Israel is 7 hours ahead of New York most of the year. Its daylight saving time starts on the Friday before the last Sunday of March and ends on the last Sunday of October, neither date matching the US, so the difference drops to 6 hours for a few weeks.
The Israeli work week is Sunday to Thursday; Friday is a short day for many and Saturday is the weekend. The live tool below marks only Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, so read Fridays and Sundays with that in mind.
