An i24NEWS in-depth article examines the two-sided economic impact of the Tishrei holiday period on the Israeli economy. The big winners are food chains, bakeries, butcher shops, and wine stores, which enjoy a wave of holiday shopping. The tourism and leisure industry – hotels, guesthouses, attractions, and parks – also sees a rise in demand. Delivery, transportation, and roadside services operate at high intensity. Boutique gift businesses, such as local wineries and apiaries, benefit from the demand for personal gifts. On the other hand, advertising agencies, consulting firms, law offices, and software companies experience a significant slowdown due to the unavailability of managers and clients. Personal service providers – therapists, coaches, private tutors, and hairdressers – face cancellations and deferrals that hurt their income. The construction and renovation industry suffers from delays in the supply chain and permits. Small cultural businesses, such as independent theaters and galleries, may also be affected as the public prefers family activities. The article does not cite specific sources or numerical data, but presents a general trend analysis.
