Mimouna Day 2026 in Israel

Is Mimouna Day a Public Holiday?

This is an elective holiday, which means that while government and private businesses are open on this day, some employees and businesses may opt to take the day off.

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.

While we diligently research and update our holiday dates, some of the information in the table above may be preliminary. If you find an error, please let us know.
