About Jerusalem
Jerusalem is one of the world's oldest cities and holds deep religious significance for Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with sites such as the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. Pilgrims, tourists, journalists and families abroad all keep track of its time.
Israel uses Israel Standard Time, UTC+2, and moves to Israel Daylight Time, UTC+3, in summer. Its clock changes do not always fall on the same dates as Europe's, so check the live clock around those times. Many businesses close from Friday afternoon until Saturday evening for Shabbat, and Sunday is a normal working day.
