9pm Israel is 2:00 pm EDT
9pm IDT is 2:00 pm 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 9pm Israel in EDT?
It is 2:00 pm. Eastern is 7 hours behind Israel, so you subtract 7 hours from 9:00 pm and the date does not change. 9pm is late evening in Israel, the wind-down before midnight, while 2:00 pm is afternoon in Eastern, the second half of the working day.
By the time it is 9pm in Israel, 87.5% of that calendar day has gone. In Eastern the same instant is 58.3% through the same day, which is the clearest way to see what the 7 hours gap actually does.
9pm Israel to EDT in the hours either side
The four hours before and after 9pm, 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 9pm Israel a good time to call EDT?
It works for them, not obviously for you. 2:00 pm is a normal working hour in Eastern, but 9pm is late evening in Israel, the wind-down before midnight. Expect to be the one making the compromise.
Does daylight saving change 9pm Israel to EDT?
Yes. Sampled at 9pm 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.
9pm 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. 9pm EDT is 4:00 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.
