Synchronization Context
Syncing between Seoul and Tel Aviv is challenging due to the 7 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.
Seoul Business Pulse
- Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
Tel Aviv Business Pulse
- Culture Informal, direct, and extremely innovative ("Start-up Nation"). Hierarchy is flat.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Do not call on Friday or Saturday (Shabbat). Best times are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Israelis are famously direct and informal; do not be surprised if people interrupt or speak passionately—it is seen as a sign of engagement, not rudeness.
