Understanding the Tel Aviv – Los Angeles Time Difference
Tel Aviv runs on Asia/Jerusalem, currently IDT (UTC+3:00). Los Angeles runs on America/Los_Angeles, currently PDT (UTC-7:00). The gap of 10 hours is simply the distance between those two offsets.
Both cities observe Daylight Saving Time, but they don't switch on the same date — so for a few weeks each year the gap between them is different again. The next shift is on Sunday, October 25, 2026, when Tel Aviv adjusts its clocks and the difference becomes 9 hours. Anything scheduled across that date needs checking again.
