Winter time will begin tonight on October 30, 2022, Thursday in Sheshon Tashpag, the night between Saturday and Sunday. At 2:00 in the morning the hands must be moved back one hour to 1:00. With this, summer time will end, which lasts 219 days this year.
Winter and summer time were determined according to the latest version of the "Time Law" from 1992, which was amended in 2013. The law states that "every year, during the period from the Friday before the last Sunday of March at 2:00 a.m. to the last Sunday of October at 2:00 a.m., the time in Israel will be advanced by one additional hour, so that it will be three hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time."

On the last day of summer time, the sunrise was at 06:59 and the sunset time is 17:55. The expected daylight hours today are 10 hours and 56 minutes. On the first morning of winter time, October 30, the sunrise will be at 6:01 a.m. and the sunset at 4:54 p.m. - and we will lose one hour of daylight.
The transfer of time to winter time and summer time is carried out in Israel according to the latest version of the Time Setting Law from 2013. According to the Time Setting Law, as every year, on the last Sunday of October, the clock in Israel is moved back one hour. Moving the clock also marks the change of seasons and the cooling weather, and its immediate meaning is that the sun rises earlier - and sets earlier accordingly.
Moving the clock according to the seasons is intended to bring about as much overlap as possible between the hours of human activity and the hours of daylight during the day, and is accepted worldwide. While balancing, the law in Israel takes into account the needs of morning worshipers and those who are concerned about the desecration of the Sabbath on Shabbat night and other matters of Halacha and tradition, so the summer time period in Israel is slightly shorter than in most countries of the world where it is practiced.
The amendment to the law that led to the extension of daylight saving time was initiated back in 2010 by twenty members of the Knesset headed by MK Nitzan Horowitz (Maretz). In the explanatory notes to the law it was stated that the activation of daylight saving time saves electricity and thus protects the environment. It saves the economy tens of millions of shekels, among other things Due to the increase in productivity, daylight saving time also reduces the number of traffic accidents and allows the general public - workers, families with children - to enjoy an extra hour of daylight during the long summer months.
The idea of ​​advancing the day and its adjustment to the hours of daylight is attributed to Benjamin Franklin, who published a satirical letter on the matter in a Parisian newspaper in 1784, while he was the US ambassador to France. The first to propose the advance of time by means of an agreed shift of the clock circles, was the New Zealand scientist George Vernon Hudson , in 1895. He recommended doing so to save energy through a better match between the hours of human activity and the hours of natural lighting.
