Timezone for Asia/Jerusalem

[Andy Lipscomb]

If you can generate Hebrew-calendar dates, that will do it. It's always
either the 4th, 6th, 7th, or 9th of Tishri (whichever of those four
falls on a Sunday). In the language of tzData, it's Sun>=3 (just on a
month that the tz code doesn't handle).

Subject: Timezone for Asia/Jerusalem

For Asia/Jerusalem (URL below) time zone -- DST begin date seems to be
consistently on the 'First Friday' following March 26th every year.   If
March 26 falls on Friday then DST begins on that Friday.   But I fail to
see any pattern in DST end date.   Currently, we have been defining new
time zone rule every year for Asia/Jerusalem in our metadata but want to
know if we can fit in some generic pattern to avoid maintenance.

Any suggestions ?
