Convert EDT to IDT Time Zone
Everything you need for EDT to IDT — the difference, the current times, and how to plan around it.
How do I convert EDT to IDT?
It takes three quick steps:
- Click the EDT field on the left and pick the time you want to convert.
- The matching IDT time updates on the right automatically — there’s no button to press.
- Need a different day? Click the date field and the result follows, rolling over if it crosses midnight.
How many hours apart are EDT and IDT?
IDT is 7 hours ahead of EDT. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just add 7 hours to get the other — so a call between New York and Jerusalem is always 7 hours apart.
What's the current time in IDT?
Right now the time in Israel Daylight Time (IDT) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 8:53:55 PM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live IDT clock.
And what time is it in EDT?
And in Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 1:53:55 PM. Compare the two and the 7 hours gap is easy to see.
Planning a meeting across EDT and IDT?
For example, a 9:00 AM EDT meeting takes place at 4:00 PM IDT. The trick is to aim for a slot that lands inside normal working hours on both sides. Once you’ve found a time, hit Share on the converter to copy a link with the time built in — easy to send to a colleague. Juggling three or more zones? The meeting planner highlights the hours that overlap for everyone.
Does daylight saving time change the EDT–IDT difference?
The labels EDT and IDT are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. Both regions move their clocks for daylight saving on roughly the same weekends, so the 7 hours gap usually holds steady right through the year.
How accurate is this EDT to IDT conversion?
We don’t guess. EDT and IDT times are worked out from the official IANA time zone database, the trusted standard that operating systems use worldwide. Because daylight-saving rules and regional offsets do change over time, we track those updates rather than relying on a fixed number — which is exactly where many converters slip up.

Do EDT or IDT use daylight saving time?
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) observes daylight saving, alternating with EST; Israel Daylight Time (IDT) observes daylight saving, alternating with IST.
Why might the real-world EDT–IDT difference change during the year?
The labels EDT and IDT are fixed offsets, so this converter is always exact. But Eastern Daylight Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want EST to IDT. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
