Israel's Clocks Go Back: Daylight Saving Time is Over!

It's that time again, folks – Israel is turning its clocks back! That's right, daylight saving time (DST) has officially ended, so get ready to say goodbye to those long, sunny evenings and hello to the earlier sunsets.

For those of you who haven't experienced the joys of DST in Israel, let me explain. Each year, we shift our clocks forward by an hour in the spring, giving us more daylight in the evenings. But alas, all good things must come to an end. As the days get shorter and the weather starts to cool, we switch back to standard time. This year, the changeover happened on Sunday, October 29th, 2023 at 2:00 AM.

So what does this mean for you? Well, for starters, you'll get an extra hour of sleep (woohoo!). But it also means that the sun will be setting earlier, which can be a bummer if you enjoy those long evenings outside. On the bright side, it also means that it'll be getting darker earlier in the mornings, which can be a good thing if you're not a fan of waking up before the sun.

This change can be a bit confusing, especially if you're not used to it. But don't worry, it's just a temporary shift. We'll be back on DST in the spring, so just hang tight until then!

In the meantime, here are a few tips to help you adjust:

• Set your clocks back as soon as possible. Don't wait until the last minute!
• Be prepared for the earlier sunsets. Plan your evening activities accordingly.
• Don't be surprised if your body is a bit out of whack for a few days. Give yourself time to adjust to the new schedule.

And remember, this is just a small change in our lives. We'll all get used to it soon enough.

So go ahead and enjoy that extra hour of sleep! And don't forget to check your clocks!
