-# past, approved sending the proposed June 2011 changes to the Time
-# Decree Law back to the Knesset for second and third (final) votes
-# before the upcoming elections on Jan. 22, 2013.  Hence, although the

-# second day of the Jewish Rosh Hashana holiday, in which case DST ends a day
-# later (i.e. at 02:00 the first Monday after October 2).
-# [Rosh Hashana holidays are factored in until 2100.]
