5pm Israel is 10:00 am EDT
5pm IDT is 10:00 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 5pm Israel in EDT?
It is 10:00 am. Eastern is 7 hours behind Israel, so you subtract 7 hours from 5:00 pm and the date does not change. 5pm is evening in Israel, dinner and the end of the working day, while 10:00 am is mid morning in Eastern, the busiest stretch of the working morning.
ISO 8601 would write this instant as 2026-09-28 14:00Z, the same moment expressed with no zone opinion at all. Both 5pm Israel and 10:00 am EDT are local readings of that one instant, which is the only thing either clock is really describing.
5pm Israel to EDT in the hours either side
The four hours before and after 5pm, in case the meeting moves. The whole window stays on the same day in Eastern, so only the hour changes.

Is 5pm Israel a good time to call EDT?
It works for them, not obviously for you. 10:00 am is a normal working hour in Eastern, but 5pm is evening in Israel, dinner and the end of the working day. Expect to be the one making the compromise.
Does daylight saving change 5pm Israel to EDT?
Yes. Sampled at 5pm 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.
5pm 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. 5pm EDT is 12:00 am Israel, the next day, 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.
