Notes

• Only the first and last days of Passover and Sukkot are national holidays, but there may be some disruption on intermediate dates; many shops and businesses may open but close early.
• Public holidays in Israel are national holidays officially recognised by the Knesset, Israel's parliament.
• There are several observances in Israel that are called National Holidays but are not non-working days. They are marked in yellow above.
