2pm Israel is 7:00 am EDT
2pm IDT is 7:00 am EDT in Eastern Time. EDT is 7 hours behind Israel today, and that gap changes during the year, so this is recomputed rather than assumed.
What time is 2pm Israel in EDT?
It is 7:00 am. Eastern is 7 hours behind Israel, so you subtract 7 hours from 2:00 pm and the date does not change. 2pm is afternoon in Israel, the second half of the working day, while 7:00 am is early morning in Eastern, alarms, commutes and the first coffee.
2pm is 840 minutes past midnight in Israel and the result sits 420 minutes past midnight in Eastern. Counting from midnight on each side is the least error prone way to sanity check a conversion by hand.
2pm Israel to EDT in the hours either side
The four hours before and after 2pm, in case the meeting moves. The whole window stays on the same day in Eastern, so only the hour changes.

Is 2pm Israel a good time to call EDT?
Marginally. 7:00 am in Eastern is outside the 9:00 am to 5:00 pm working day but still a civilised hour, alarms, commutes and the first coffee. Reasonable for something brief, poor for anything that needs a full room.
Does daylight saving change 2pm Israel to EDT?
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.
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.
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.
2pm EDT to Israel, 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 EDT is 9:00 pm Israel, which is a different reading from the answer above, because the two directions are separate questions. One wrinkle worth knowing: IST and IDT are two names for the same zone, not two zones. Israel Time reads IST in winter and IDT in summer. When somebody types "israel to est" they nearly always mean the zone rather than the literal winter offset, so this page resolves ISRAEL to Asia/Jerusalem and EST to America/New_York and applies whichever offset is genuinely in force on the day.
