Love DST, but the proposal in this petition makes perfect sense!

Actually in recent years it's been static and working well. Before that it was all over the place depending on which government was in power.
Get me a petition to eliminate DST altogether and I'll sign.

Agree, though let's be honest, sunrise and sunset are not affected by daylight savings! There is no reason not to wake up an hour later on Yom Kippur and start the tefillot an hour later, and I believe that this should be the direction that congregations take.

This would enable the large majority of citizens who celebrate Pesach, to have their children awake and involved in the seder. This is NOT only for the religious, but for the majority of Israeli citizens, including secular people, most of whom DO have a seder as well as children!

Making this change will make it possible for millions of children in Israel to stay awake for the Pessah seder.

ממש מקשה. אני גם זוכרת שזה היה כל כך יפה להתחיל את הסדר מוקדם ולצום מוקדם. כל כך לא מתחשב.

Changing the clock before Pesach and after Yom Kippur causes hardships. Why can't we have standard time year round. We are a Jewish country, the clock has to fit our needs.

PLEASE change the times as those mentioned! It is so difficult with small children to finish the Seder late at night!! And fasting that extra daylight on Yom Kippur is extremely difficult!!

Ridiculous to institute this at all in our sunny country, but it's definitely wrong to change it before the Seder and Yom Kippur!!

DST should be gotten rid of entirely!! It is stupid and pointless, and any parent knows that it messes up kids' internal clocks for a week. If there was any good reason for it to still exist, then I could put up with it, but there isn't.

It does not make any sense to add an extra hour of daylight during the time of year that we naturally have more daylight. Get rid of DST and make things more normalized.
