Israel PTO: Suprise! We’re Closed Tomorrow!

In case you wanted to speak to someone at the Israel PTO tomorrow, they just announced via an unsigned email that they're closed for business. No, not in anticipation of snow. Something about an end-of-year meeting for all ILPTO personnel.

Does this mean deadlines are pushed off? Of course not: the online filing systems will still be (nominally) working. Just don't call for help if the system goes wonky on you.
