Holiday in Israel Finds Dates in the Gregorian Calendar

In July 2013, on a summer holiday in Israel, British singer Cliff Richard wowed the crowd in the Nokia Arena in Tel-Aviv when he greeted them “Shalom Tel Aviv” during his concert in the city. It was his 3rd performance in 50 years, following his second concert 25 years ago also in Israel. It also drew a remarkably huge turnout of audience of holiday makers and music lovers. Though on a simple summer holiday, the latest musical performance was also attended by local and foreign tourists who were on holiday vacations. It thus turned out like an official holiday in Israel that is listed in exact dates in the Gregorian Calendar. Among these holiday dates are the New Year holiday or Rosh Hashanah, between September 5 and October 5, a two—day official holiday, and the Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot, also an official and school holiday, that gives workers in business and government offices collective pay for the duration of the holiday.

For the non-Israelis, however, a holiday in Israel is perhaps not for them to celebrate. The holiday may have cultural or religious significance to the local people but non-Israelis are in the country for various reasons and purposes. One of these is to allow you to make use of your holidays in the best accommodations and facilities offered in this Holy Land through the hotels in Israel. From Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, the country’s capital, down to its north and south coastal districts, you can find top-rated hotels in Israel and bed and breakfast (B&B) accommodations to enjoy your holiday stay. So whether you’re a Jewish or not, you should know that the Jewish holidays are observed throughout the year. If you are a non-Jewish, you can peacefully disregard a religious holiday observed by the Jewish people.

Hotels Israel abound in Tel Aviv, especially around the Nokia Arena where the now 72-year old Cliff Richard performed in concert for the third time. The Briton had turned the day into a one summer holiday—as it was held on a summer month—made more meaningful by the comeback appearance of a singing idol in the 1960s.
