On motzei Shabbos Parshas Noach, 2 Marcheshvan at 02:00, Israel will shift to standard time and move clocks back an hour to 01:00.

Daylight savings time was observed this year for 212 days as a result of Interior Minister Gideon Saar extending DST to a schedule similar to that of Europe.

Standard time will end on Thursday night the eve of 7 Nissan (March 27, 2015).
