2pm EDT is 9:00 pm Israel
2pm EDT is 9:00 pm IDT in Israel Time. Israel is 7 hours ahead of EDT today, and that gap changes during the year, so this is recomputed rather than assumed.
What time is 2pm EDT in Israel?
It is 9:00 pm. Israel is 7 hours ahead of Eastern, so you add 7 hours to 2:00 pm and the date does not change. 2pm is afternoon in Eastern, the second half of the working day, while 9:00 pm is late evening in Israel, the wind-down before midnight.
2pm is 840 minutes past midnight in Eastern and the result sits 1,260 minutes past midnight in Israel. Counting from midnight on each side is the least error prone way to sanity check a conversion by hand.
2pm EDT to Israel in the hours either side
The four hours before and after 2pm, in case the meeting moves. Note that the calendar date does not stay put across this window: it changes partway through, which is exactly where scheduling mistakes come from.

Is 2pm EDT a good time to call Israel?
No. 9:00 pm in Israel is late evening, the wind-down before midnight. Nobody is taking that call. The zones are 7 hours apart, so the nearest sensible slot is a different hour entirely.
Does daylight saving change 2pm EDT to Israel?
Yes. Sampled at 2pm on every day of 2026, the gap takes 2 different values. Today it is 7 hours, which is why the answer above is dated rather than fixed.
Eastern Time is currently on EDT and changes next on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when the clock falls back from 1:59 am to 1:00 am and the offset moves from UTC-4 to UTC-5.
Israel Time is currently on IDT and changes next on Sunday, October 25, 2026, when the clock falls back from 1:59 am to 1:00 am and the offset moves from UTC+3 to UTC+2.
2pm Israel to EDT, the other way round
Running the question the other way is a different conversion, not a mirror image, because the two zones can be in different daylight saving states on the same date. 2pm Israel is 7:00 am EDT, which is a different reading from the answer above, because the two directions are separate questions. One wrinkle worth knowing: EST and EDT are two names for the same zone, not two zones. Eastern Time reads EST in winter and EDT in summer. When somebody types "est to israel" they nearly always mean the zone rather than the literal winter offset, so this page resolves EST to America/New_York and ISRAEL to Asia/Jerusalem and applies whichever offset is genuinely in force on the day.
