    Time zone in Jerusalem

    Jerusalem is on Israel Standard Time (IST, UTC+2) in winter and switches to Israel Daylight Time (IDT, UTC+3) in summer. Its identifier in the international time zone database is Asia/Jerusalem: it is what your phone and computer use to show the right time there.

    Clock changes in Jerusalem:

    • 2026: forward 1 h on Friday, March 27, 2026 (2:00 AM becomes 3:00 AM), then back 1 h on Sunday, October 25, 2026 (2:00 AM becomes 1:00 AM).
    • 2027: forward 1 h on Friday, March 26, 2027 (2:00 AM becomes 3:00 AM), then back 1 h on Sunday, October 31, 2027 (2:00 AM becomes 1:00 AM).

    Israel’s summer time starts on the Friday before the last Sunday of March, two days before Europe’s, and ends on the last Sunday of October, the same day as in Europe.

    Jerusalem shares its time with Tel Aviv.

    By the sun, noon in Jerusalem falls at about 11:39 AM in winter and 12:39 PM in summer (on average over the year). The city lies at 35.21° east, and every degree of longitude shifts the sun by 4 minutes. Clock time is close to sun time here. See the sunrise and sunset times in Jerusalem.

    Time difference with major cities

    When it is 12:00 PM (noon) in Jerusalem, it is:

    CityJanuaryJuly
    New York5:00 AM5:00 AM
    Los Angeles2:00 AM2:00 AM
    London10:00 AM10:00 AM
    Paris11:00 AM11:00 AM
    Tokyo7:00 PM6:00 PM
    Sydney9:00 PM7:00 PM

    The gap with Tokyo changes by one hour during the year, because Jerusalem changes its clocks and this city does not. With Sydney, the gap is not the same in January and July: the clocks change at other times of the year there. With New York, Los Angeles, London and Paris, the gap is the same in January and July but one hour different for a few weeks a year, because the clocks do not change on the same dates.
