Israeli Daily Reference Guide
Trusted75/100Reference guide for Israeli daily context: work week (Sunday-Thursday), holidays and observances, business obligation reminders (VAT, Bituach Leumi), local communication norms, and tips for formal Hebrew writing. Use when you need context on the Israeli calendar, professional message drafting conventions, scheduling around Shabbat and holidays, or formal Hebrew email structure. Do NOT use for calendar API integration (use shabbat-aware-scheduler), automated email sending (use gws-hebrew-email-automation), or accounting calculations (use accounting skills).

Generic AI assistants lack Israeli context: a work week starting Sunday, half-day Friday, Jewish holidays that shut down the economy, and Israeli communication norms. The result is wrong scheduling, translated-sounding Hebrew, and missed business obligations like VAT reporting.
