# The change to UTC+11 is being considered as a regular summer thing but

# In addition to the Rule changes for Casey/Davis, it means that Macquarie

# Yesterday, the Interior Ministry Committee, after more than a year

# past, approved sending the proposed June 2011 changes to the Time

# Decree Law back to the Knesset for second and third (final) votes

# As of 2013, DST starts at 02:00 on the Friday before the last Sunday in March.

# DST ends at 02:00 on the first Sunday after October 1, unless it occurs on the

# second day of the Jewish Rosh Hashana holiday, in which case DST ends a day

# later (i.e. at 02:00 the first Monday after October 2).

# [Rosh Hashana holidays are factored in until 2100.]

# From Ephraim Silverberg (2012-11-05):

# The Knesset passed today (in second and final readings) the amendment to the

# Time Decree Law making the changes ... law.

# From Ephraim Silverberg (2013-06-27):

# On June 23, 2013, the Israeli government approved changes to the
