Frequently Asked Questions

How many business days are in February 2024 for Israeli public?
February 2024 has 21 working days under the Israeli public holiday calendar. The month spans 29 calendar days, of which 8 fall on a weekend and 0 are Israeli public holidays that lands on a weekday. The remaining 21 weekdays are countable as working days for invoicing, deadline tracking, and contract math.
Which Israel holidays affect February 2024?
February 2024 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.
Why is Friday treated as a weekend day in this calculator?
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.
How are the Jewish high holidays handled in working-day math?
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.
Why does the business-day count vary year to year?
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. February 2023 had 20 working days, so February 2024 has 1 more working day year over year.
