First Day of School Year 2026 in Israel

Is First Day of School Year a Public Holiday?

While government and private businesses are open on this day, non-Jewish employees and businesses may take the day off to observe their religious holy day.

First Day of School Year Observances

Note: Israeli labor law grants non-Jewish employees the option to observe their own religious holidays rather than the national Jewish holidays. Certain employers, collective agreements, or workplace policies may also permit employees of all faiths to take up to two elective leave days per calendar year, in addition to their statutory annual vacation entitlement.
