Purim
Pesach (Passover).
Yom Ha’Atzmaut (The Israel Independence Day).
Shavu’ot (Pentecost).
Note
** Only the 1st and last days of Passover
and Sukkot are officially recognised as national
holidays, however there may be some disruption on intermediate
dates, many shops and businesses may open but close early.
Jewish festivals start on the evenings before the dates given
above.
The Jewish religious day is Saturday, Shabbat,
and begins at nightfall on Friday until nightfall on Saturday.
The majority of public services and shops close early on Friday
as a result. Muslim and Christian
holidays are also observed by some, therefore depending on
the district, the day of rest falls on Friday, Saturday or
Sunday.
