Iacisrmma- I was talking about the daytime minyan & kriah. My point was that I thought some posters in this thread thought that Purim night would be affected by the time change and it would be an hour shorter. My point is that the time people have to wake up Purim morning has nothing to do with what the powers to be decided to call the time. It goes by whatever time Minyan is which I assume is connected to Netz which is unaffected by the artificial time change.

The artificial time change does affect us during the work-week since people’s jobs go according to the time on the clock. However, when the clocks change on a Yomtov, it shouldn’t really affect us. In EY, they used to change the clocks on Thursday night for that reason – this way, many people are not affected until Sunday. In the US, they do it on a Motzei Shabbos since most people will not be affected until Monday (and m/w they have time to get used to it).
