Jerusalem follows the Asia/Jerusalem time zone, abbreviated IST. Right now its offset from Coordinated Universal Time is UTC+2.

Standard time is in effect at the moment, and Jerusalem does observe daylight saving time. The next change comes on Friday, March 26, 2027 at 02:00: clocks go forward 1 hour, so at 02:00 the clock jumps to 03:00 and the offset becomes UTC+3. From that day the difference from Brasília is 6 hours ahead. The change after that is on Sunday, October 31, 2027 at 02:00.

Time difference between Brasília and Jerusalem

To convert, take Brasília time and add 5 hours; when the sum passes midnight, the date in Jerusalem is already the next day. The table uses today's offsets.

Going the other way, local noon in Jerusalem is 07:00 in Brasília, and local midnight is 19:00 (previous day) in Brasília. Because Jerusalem is ahead, its calendar date is one day later than in Brasília from 19:00 until midnight Brasília time. Keep this in mind for deadlines, flights and anything scheduled around the start or end of a day.
