  2. Add comparison cities relevant to your schedule: Click + Add City and search for cities such as New York, London, and Dubai. These are practical comparison points for Israeli tech, cybersecurity, venture capital, logistics, and regional business because Israel commonly works with North American clients, UK financial partners, and Gulf-based trade contacts.

  3. Drag across the grid to compare working hours visually: Click Select to enable selection mode, then drag across the Modi‘in Makkabbim Re‘ut row from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. On a typical summer date, that same window appears as 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM in New York, 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM in London, and 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Dubai, showing immediately why a morning meeting in Israel is usually better for Europe than for the US East Coast.

  4. Export the chosen time range for coordination: After selecting the range, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is especially helpful for sending a confirmed meeting slot to a distributed team, so participants in Israel, Europe, and North America see the event automatically in their own local time zones.

About Modi‘in Makkabbim Re‘ut Time Zone

Modi‘in Makkabbim Re‘ut uses the Asia/Jerusalem IANA time zone, the standard time zone identifier for Israel. Israel operates on Israel Standard Time (IST), UTC+2 during standard time and Israel Daylight Time (IDT), UTC+3 during daylight saving time. This means the city is one hour ahead in summer compared with winter, which affects business calls, flight planning, and cross-border project schedules.

Israel observes daylight saving time on a national schedule. In 2025, DST begins on March 28, 2025, when clocks move forward from UTC+2 to UTC+3, and ends on October 26, 2025, when clocks move back to UTC+2. If you are arranging meetings with US or European teams, these transition periods matter because the time gap can temporarily shift by one hour before other regions complete their own seasonal clock changes.

Modi‘in Makkabbim Re‘ut is located in central Israel, between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, so it follows the same national time rules as both major cities. Compared with nearby regional time zones, Israel usually matches Jordan seasonally but differs from Dubai, which stays on UTC+4 year-round and does not observe DST. This makes Israel one hour behind Dubai in summer and two hours behind during standard time.

Modi‘in Makkabbim Re‘ut City Details

Modi‘in Makkabbim Re‘ut is a major planned city in central Israel with a population of 93,277. Its geographic coordinates are 31.89385° N, 35.01504° E, placing it strategically between the Jerusalem metropolitan area and the Tel Aviv coastal business corridor, which is why it is relevant for commuters, logistics planning, and regional meeting coordination.

The local currency is the Israeli new shekel (ILS), used for retail purchases, hotel payments, transport, and business expenses throughout the country. Israel’s country dialing code is +972, so international callers reaching Modi‘in Makkabbim Re‘ut from abroad need to use that prefix before the local number.

Because the city sits in Israel’s central district and has strong transport links to Ben Gurion Airport, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv, accurate local time is important for airport transfers, rail schedules, and same-day business travel. For remote teams, knowing the city’s exact local time helps avoid missed standups, delayed client calls, and confusion during DST transition weeks.

Time Differences from Modi‘in Makkabbim Re‘ut

Time differences from Modi‘in Makkabbim Re‘ut depend on whether Israel is on UTC+2 or UTC+3. During daylight saving time, Modi‘in Makkabbim Re‘ut is typically 7 hours ahead of New York, 2 hours ahead of London, 6 hours behind Tokyo, 7 hours behind Sydney, and 1 hour behind Dubai.

For example, when it is 9:00 AM in Modi‘in Makkabbim Re‘ut during Israeli summer time:

  • it is 2:00 AM in New York
  • 7:00 AM in London
  • 3:00 PM in Tokyo
  • 4:00 PM in Sydney
  • 10:00 AM in Dubai

During Israeli standard time, the relationships shift. When it is 9:00 AM in Modi‘in Makkabbim Re‘ut in winter, it is usually 2:00 AM in London? No — in winter it is typically 7:00 AM in Dubai, 12:00 AM in New York when New York is on EST, 7:00 AM in London only when London remains on GMT and Israel is UTC+2, 4:00 PM in Tokyo, and 6:00 PM in Sydney if Sydney is on daylight time. Because the US, UK, Israel, and Australia change clocks on different dates, the exact gap can vary for a few weeks in March, October, and November.

For business use, the most practical overlap is usually with London and Dubai, where normal office hours intersect more comfortably with Israel’s workday. New York often overlaps only with Israel’s afternoon, which is why many Israeli software, cybersecurity, SaaS, and consulting teams schedule US calls around 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM Israel time.
