Where do people get this idea from that Israel has a six-day work week?
Friday in Israel is like Saturday in Europe or the USA. Everything is closed, except for shops. All offices are closed. If you would say Israel has a six-day work week, the same would apply to the UK, USA, Holland, France, etc.
Now, on topic: I think it would be a great idea. Working Sunday to Thursday is so annoying. I never have a day *off* – a day on which I can do whatever I want. Most of all, it’s very annoying to never be able to go on any day trips except if you take a day off (holiday). There are so many beautiful places around here, but I can never go there unless I would take a holiday day (meaning I would have less days for real holidays).
