When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Israel Time and Alaska Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Alaska Time is 11 hours behind Israel Time.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 6 PM–8 PM in Israel Time (7 AM–9 AM in Alaska Time) — suggest 7:00 PM Israel Time (8:00 AM Alaska Time).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
This window may shift by an hour during daylight saving time.
Note: the working week in Israel runs Sunday–Thursday; Friday–Saturday is the weekend, so overlap on those days is limited.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
