No. we use the standard world time. There's an old Jewish system which is used in parallel but mainly in official documents, and for example in the newspapers, alongside the gregorian system.

@abaavaz Nice. I read some articles in the internet and they said that Israel don't use greg, system because they don't accept anno domini and bla bla something like that. But nice to hear directly from the native. Thank you

@artzidavid1 what are you talking about? We use the standard, universal, gregorian system. Today it's the 26 Dec 2017

I assume we're supposed to use both, but we mainly use the Gregorian one. I think I know a person or two who use the jewish one, but that's about it.

As far as not using anno domini, some Jews say CE (common era) and BCE (before the common era) instead of AD and BC, but we use the same system for numbering the years. So instead of saying we are in 2018 AD, they might say 2018 CE.
