Daylight Savings Time commences midnight of the first Saturday night +# following the seven-day festival of Pesach (Passover). The transition +# is from midnight Israel Standard Time to 1 a.m. Israel Daylight Savings +# time. As the Pesach festival is dependent on the Lunar calendar (the +# first day is always on the 15th day of the month of Nisan), the rule +# changes every year on the Gregorian calendar. +# +# 2. Standard Time is reinstated on the Saturday night whereupon Jews +# following the Ashkenazi (European) rite begin to recite the Selichot +# (forgiveness) prayers prior to the Jewish Lunar New Year. The transition +# is from midnight Israel Daylight Savings time to 11 p.m. Israel Standard +# Time. The law (according to the Ashkenazi custom) concerning the +# commencement of the Selichot prayers is described in chapter 128, section +# 5 of the "Code of Jewish Law," by Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried (translated by +# Hyman E. Goldin): +# +# Beginning with the Sunday [**] before Rosh Hashanah [***], +# we rise early for the service of Selichot (supplications for +# forgiveness). If Rosh Hashanah occurs on Monday or Tuesday, we +# begin saying the Selichot from the Sunday of the preceding week. +# +# This, too, varies from year to year on the Gregorian calendar and, thus, +# two explicit timezone rules are required for each Gregorian year. +# +# [**] actually Saturday night as the Jewish day commences at nightfall. +# [***] the Jewish Lunar New Year. + +# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S +Rule Zion 1989 only - Apr 30 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 1989 only - Sep 24 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 1990 only - Apr 22 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 1990 only - Sep 16 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 1991 only - Apr 7 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 1991 only - Sep 1 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 1992 only - Apr 26 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 1992 only - Sep 20 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 1993 only - Apr 18 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 1993 only - Sep 12 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 1994 only - Apr 3 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 1994 only - Aug 28 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 1995 only - Apr 23 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 1995 only - Sep 17 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 1996 only - Apr 14 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 1996 only - Sep 8 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 1997 only - May 4 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 1997 only - Sep 28 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 1998 only - Apr 19 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 1998 only - Sep 13 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 1999 only - Apr 11 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 1999 only - Sep 5 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 2000 only - Apr 30 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 2000 only - Sep 24 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 2001 only - Apr 15 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 2001 only - Sep 9 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 2002 only - Apr 7 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 2002 only - Sep 1 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 2003 only - Apr 27 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 2003 only - Sep 21 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 2004 only - Apr 18 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 2004 only - Sep 12 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 2005 only - May 1 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 2005 only - Sep 25 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 2006 only - Apr 23 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 2006 only - Sep 17 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 2007 only - Apr 15 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 2007 only - Sep 9 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 2008 only - Apr 27 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 2008 only - Sep 21 0:00 0:00 S +Rule Zion 2009 only - Apr 19 0:00 1:00 D +Rule Zion 2009 only - Sep 13 0:00 0:00 S + +# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTIL] +Zone Israel 2:00 Zion I%sT + +# The following is a chart of the day of the week and Gregorian date of +# the first day of Pesach and the first day of Rosh Hashanah for the years +# 1989 through 2009 inclusive. +# +# First Day of Passover +# --------------------- +# Gregorian Year Day of Week Month Day +# -------------- ----------- ----- --- +# 1989 Thursday April 20 +# 1990 Tuesday April 10 +# 1991 Saturday March 30 +# 1992 Saturday April 18 +# 1993 Tuesday April 6 +# 1994 Sunday March 27 +# 1995 Saturday April 15 +# 1996 Thursday April 4 +# 1997 Tuesday April 22 +# 1998 Saturday April 11 +# 1999 Thursday April 1 +# 2000 Thursday April 20 +# 2001 Sunday April 8 +# 2002 Thursday March 28 +# 2003 Thursday April 17 +# 2004 Tuesday April 6 +# 2005 Sunday April 24 +# 2006 Thursday April 13 +# 2007 Tuesday April 3 +# 2008 Sunday April 20 +# 2009 Thursday April 9 +# +# First Day of Rosh Hashanah +# -------------------------- +# Gregorian Year Day of Week Month Day +# -------------- ----------- ----- --- +# 1989 Saturday September 30 +# 1990 Thursday September 20 +# 1991 Monday September 9 +# 1992 Monday September 28 +# 1993 Thursday September 16 +# 1994 Tuesday September 6 +# 1995 Monday September 25 +# 1996 Saturday September 14 +# 1997 Thursday October 2 +# 1998 Monday September 21 +# 1999 Saturday September 11 +# 2000 Saturday September 30 +# 2001 Tuesday September 18 +# 2002 Saturday September 7 +# 2003 Saturday September 27 +# 2004 Thursday September 16 +# 2005 Tuesday October 4 +# 2006 Saturday September 23 +# 2007 Thursday September 13 +# 2008 Tuesday September 30 +# 2009 Saturday September 19 + +############################################################################### + +# Japan + +# From Guy Harris + +# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTIL] +Zone Japan 9:00 - JST + +############################################################################### + +# Republic of Korea + +# From Guy Harris: +# According to someone at the Korean Times in San Francisco, +# Daylight Savings Time was not observed until 1987.
