Summary
Congress just passed the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent — a move backed by President Trump who called the current twice-yearly clock changes “ridiculous.” The goal? More evening daylight, especially in winter. But Orthodox Jewish groups are pushing back, warning that later sunrises could disrupt their morning prayer schedules, particularly the Shacharit service that must begin before sunrise. With a minyan — a quorum of ten adults — required for communal prayer, many rely on early morning synagogue attendance, which could clash with work and school. This isn’t the first time the idea has been tried — past attempts stalled — and while states like Arizona and Hawaii already skip daylight saving time, this bill would affect most of the country. As the bill heads to the Senate, the debate underscores how national time changes can deeply impact religious traditions.
