About Haifa
Haifa runs 7 hours ahead of New York all year: when it's noon on the East Coast, Haifa clocks read 19:00. The gap stays fixed because both sides observe DST on roughly aligned weekends. Israel's next clock change comes on 25 October 2026, shifting Haifa from UTC+3 to UTC+2. Plan calls early. A New York 8:00 a.m. lands at 15:00 in Haifa, near the end of the local workday since Israel's week runs Sunday through Thursday.
