Since 2005, the end of DST is determined by the Jewish lunar religious calendar, so I'm not sure if this can be accommodated by tz automatically.
More specifically, the current law mandates that DST ends at 02:00 a.m. on the Sunday before the fast of Yom Kippur (falls somewhere in September or October). There has been some discussion in the Knesset about amending this law since the switch back to DST occurs sometimes in early September (e.g. September 8, 2013). Thusfar, no proposed amendment has gone as far as to be tabled on the Knesset floor. ___________________________________________________________________________ Ephraim Silverberg, CSE System Group, Phone number: 972-2-6585521 Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.
