Israel Social Posting Blackout Calendar

Know when not to post across Israeli holidays and memorials

Running a flash sale post on Yom HaZikaron or sending a promotional blast on Erev Yom Kippur can do lasting damage to your brand. This calendar identifies the days each month when commercial marketing should pause, as well as dates where you should limit posts to quiet messaging or narrow morning windows. It tracks Shabbat and Chag, holiday eves and Fridays until 13:00, fast days, Yom HaShoah, Yom HaZikaron, Rabin Memorial Day, their preceding evenings, and the week of October 7. Every group is togglable, so businesses that choose to post on Shabbat can adjust the view to their own policies. Dates are calculated dynamically from the Hebrew calendar in Israel, and you can copy a quick list of all flagged dates for the month.

Frequently asked questions

Why are holiday eves marked "until 13:00"?

By early afternoon on Fridays and holiday eves, most Israeli audiences are offline preparing for family meals or Shabbat, meaning late posts get buried. Morning traffic remains active, leaving a useful marketing window until 13:00.

What can a business post on national memorial days?

The calendar flags memorial days as no-post days for commercial marketing. Many Israeli brands choose to publish a quiet memorial graphic with no sales pitches, discounts, or products. Pushing a promotion on these solemn days is widely seen as tone-deaf.

My business operates and posts on Shabbat. Can I disable that filter?

Yes. Each category at the top is completely optional: Shabbat and Jewish holidays, national memorial days, fast days, and October 7. Simply turn off the filters that do not apply to your brand policy.

How are the dates calculated?

They are calculated dynamically from the Hebrew calendar in Israel, factoring in floating holidays that shift whenever they fall adjacent to Shabbat. You can browse months forward and backward freely.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. The entire calculation runs directly in your browser without AI processing and uses zero account credits.
