Best time to visit Israel
Spring and Fall are best weatherwise.Mid to Late April to Mid June; and Early October to Mid November.Little or no rain, weather warm to cool, neither hot nor cold.One exception during those seasons are the Khamsin/Sharav heat waves that cannot be foretold.In both seasons there are holidays that will close down public transportation, shops, restaurants and such, so check the calendar carefully.Jewish Holiday Calendar Important Note: All Jewish holidays begin the *evening before* the date specified. So if it says that Rosh Hashanah is on 30 Sept. everything closes down **at the latest** by 1 hour before sunset on 29 Sept.The holiday ends after sunset. The above is true of every Shabbat too! Friday evening is the beginning of the Shabbat and it runs till after sunset on Saturday.
