5am EDT is 12:00 pm Israel
5am EDT is 12:00 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 5am EDT in Israel?
It is 12:00 pm. Israel is 7 hours ahead of Eastern, so you add 7 hours to 5:00 am and the date does not change. 5am is early morning in Eastern, alarms, commutes and the first coffee, while 12:00 pm is noon in Israel, the middle of the day and the usual lunch hour.
ISO 8601 would write this instant as 2026-09-28 09:00Z, the same moment expressed with no zone opinion at all. Both 5am EDT and 12:00 pm Israel are local readings of that one instant, which is the only thing either clock is really describing.
5am EDT to Israel in the hours either side
The four hours before and after 5am, in case the meeting moves. The whole window stays on the same day in Israel, so only the hour changes.

Is 5am EDT a good time to call Israel?
It works for them, not obviously for you. 12:00 pm is a normal working hour in Israel, but 5am is early morning in Eastern, alarms, commutes and the first coffee. Expect to be the one making the compromise.
Does daylight saving change 5am EDT to Israel?
Yes. Sampled at 5am 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.
5am 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. 5am Israel is 10:00 pm EDT, the previous day, 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.
