About Eid al-Fitr

Note: Israeli labor law grants non-Jewish employees the option to observe their own religious holidays rather than the national Jewish holidays. Certain employers, collective agreements, or workplace policies may also permit employees of all faiths to take up to two elective leave days per calendar year, in addition to their statutory annual vacation entitlement.
