  1. Depending on which state and time zone you are calling from, this may vary from 6-9 or 7-10 hours (during Daylight Savings Time) behind Israel time.
    • For a quick solution to determining the time difference, you can search for "time in (location)" through Google, and it'll give you the current time.
  2. This initiates the international call.

      Warnings

      • Calling Israel directly from your phone in the United States can be very expensive. Ideally, you should do so only in an emergency or if you have no other option, but investing in a phone card for the call or even calling over the internet (e.g. via Skype or Google Voice) will be much cheaper.
        Thanks
