By Jewish Life Staff, . Jewish Life.
The Bank of Israel set the representative dollar rate at 3.107 shekels on October 22. At that rate, $1,000 sent to family, a yeshiva, a charity or a bank account in Israel arrives as ₪3,107.
A year earlier, on October 22, 2025, the rate was 3.298 and the same $1,000 came to ₪3,298, so the shekel is stronger against the dollar over the year: ₪191 less on every $1,000. On October 15 it was 3.103.
