No, night life is definitely open during the weekend. But shops and government offices are closed from Friday night until Saturday evening. Friday is a short day, it end in the afternoon around 4-5pm. and during Saturday shops and offices are closed until around 7-8pm. Clubs and Bars are open normally though throughout the entire time. They only close during holidays

This is false. In Judaism, it is true that people should not work on those days; however, not every Israeli is the best Jew or even Jewish. Tel Aviv the the poster child example of this, where many things do function during Shabbat (the Sabbath). Night clubs are definitely open, and so are many restaurants, cafes, and other stores. However, it's not limited to Israel's biggest metropolis. Many places do operate during this time. For example, the Ultra-Orthodox recently have complained to Intel about keeping their factories operating during Shabbat, ignoring that not all of the employees professed Judaism, did not force the employees to work during these hours, and paid them a little bit more due to the time. Many people are willing to work because of that. Government offices are a different thing. Yes, they are closed. Israel doesn't shut down. It's not like they can afford to, anyway: Obviously, the police, hospital, armed forces, power plants, and buildings of similar infrastructure operate anyway, regardless of what time it is.

In Israel average working hours are approximately 43 hours per week, and the legal maximum working week is 47 hours. For most Israelis, the workweek begins on Sunday and ends on Thursday or Friday at noon to accommodate Jewish Sabbath, which begins Friday night. Most businesses and government offices are closed during the whole day on Friday and Saturday, non-Jews may choose Friday, Saturday or Sunday as their main weekly holiday, while Jews may not choose to work on Saturday, unless their working place is open on Saturdays by a special permit. In areas where most of the population is secular, such as Tel Aviv and most of its surrounding towns, Saturday is expressed mainly in minimal business activity and transportation. Many secular families leave the cities on Saturday, for relaxation and recreation in natural surroundings. In religious neighborhoods, In Jerusalem, most of the city shuts down but there are places that are open on Saturday. Many shopping centers are partially open on Saturdays - mostly out of the major towns. Most of the museums and parks - even in Jerusalem are open on Saturday. Most night clubs are open 7 days a week.
