Scheduling on local time
Israel uses Asia/Jerusalem. If your company works Sunday to Thursday, a schedule copied from a US or European template (Monday to Friday) would stop environments on Sunday, a working day, and run them on Friday. Build the schedule around your actual week.
Time zones: Asia/Jerusalem. Currency: ILS.
Data protection law
The main law is the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, which has since been amended.
