Clearly follow on meets can continue on Friday night/Saturday of course
(*Correlation is< 1 but still high)
Worth noting that a Saturday evening do would still allow observant members in TLV to join late on - sunset is at 19.49 (v. early compared to Europe) so still doable, while also enabling positioning for those not wanting to take time off work. I suppose a Friday/Saturday combo as you suggest could cover all bases.
