Timing
To avoid a conflict with Jewish Sabbath observance, both Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha'atzma'ut are observed one or two days earlier (the 3rd and 4th, or the 2nd and 3rd, of Iyar) when the 5th of Iyar falls on a Friday or Saturday, the Shabbat. Likewise, due to a day's beginning at sunset in Jewish tradition, when Yom Hazikaron falls on a Sunday both observances are rescheduled to one day later.

Famous quotes containing the word timing:
“A great man always considers the timing before he acts.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Is it a new spring star
Within the timing chill,
Talking, or just a mime,
That rises in the blood
Thin Jack-and-Jilling seas
Without the human will?”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
