Business Days in April 2025 for Israel

April 2025 has 22 working days under the Israeli public holiday calendar. The month spans 30 calendar days, of which 8 fall on a weekend and 0 are Israeli public holidays that lands on a weekday. The remaining 22 weekdays are countable as working days for invoicing, deadline tracking, and contract math.

April 2025 contains no Israeli public holidays that fall on a weekday. Banks, the central clearing system, and Israel financial markets keep their normal schedule throughout the month under this calculator's national-only holiday set.

Israel's workweek is Sunday through Thursday under the Hours of Work and Rest Law. Friday is a partial-day working day for many sectors (typically morning hours only, with banks and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange closed at 14:00 or earlier), and Saturday (Shabbat) is a full closure for banks, public transit, and most retail. This calculator uses Friday-Saturday as the conservative weekend pair, treating Friday as a non-business day for B2B settlement purposes. Tech sector and multinational employers in Israel sometimes operate Monday-Friday by individual agreement, but the conservative count is what this calculator emits.

The Israeli national holidays follow the Hebrew (lunisolar) calendar and shift by 10-13 days year over year against the Gregorian calendar. The major closures include Rosh Hashanah (2 days), Yom Kippur, the first day of Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah, the first and seventh days of Passover, and Shavuot. Yom Ha'atzmaut (Independence Day) on 5 Iyar typically shifts to an adjacent weekday if it would fall on a Friday or Saturday. Tisha B'Av (fast day) is a partial bank closure but not gazetted as a public holiday. This calculator includes the nine major bank-closing dates.

Two things shift the monthly count for Israel. First, the day of the week the first of the month lands on changes the count of each weekday. Second, Israeli public holidays anchored to a fixed date shift their weekday across years. Some years a fixed-date holiday lands on a weekend; some countries shift the observance to an adjacent weekday and some absorb it into the weekend. April 2024 had 20 working days, so April 2025 has 2 more working days year over year.
