How the working week works in Israel
Israel's week starts on Sunday. Friday is a short day for many workplaces, and Shabbat (Friday sunset to Saturday night) is the formal rest period. Jewish holidays also begin at sundown the evening before the calendar date, which trips up scheduling more often than the weekend itself.
