Best Answer

Stores in Israel are all closed during evening hours, regardless of what day it is. But there is usually no early closure on Hanukkah.

Answer:The above mistaken answer was written by someone who has never lived in Israel.

In Israel, most stores close at 7 or 8 p.m., which is several hours after nightfall for half of the year.

During Hanukkah, many stores close early each evening.
