About Israel
Israel is a Jewish state, and as such, public Holidays follow the Jewish calendar dates vary from year to year. Different levels of
activity stop in Israel depending on the festival or holiday, and different areas will see different levels of activity on these days.
In the Jewish tradition, a new day begins at sunset, which means that Jewish holidays begin in the evening hours the day before the official
date. In general, Israel is a secular country, so most festivals won't see big changes in the levels of tourist activity.
