November is a name for a month in Israel (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nisan

'a month in israel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'november is a name' is the wordplay.
'november' becomes 'N' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'n'+'is'+'a'+'n'='NISAN'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for nisan that I've seen before include "when Passover begins" , "month in Israel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
