Orthodox Jewish groups in the US are actively lobbying against the recent House-approved bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. The primary concern stems from the impact on early morning prayer services, a vital part of Orthodox Jewish practice. Permanent DST would shift sunrise later, creating difficulties for those who must pray before dawn. Leaders argue the bill disregards the needs of observant Jews and would disrupt their religious routines. They are urging the Senate to oppose the legislation, emphasizing the importance of accommodating religious practices. The groups believe a fixed time difference would be less disruptive than constantly shifting clocks. This opposition highlights a clash between convenience and religious obligations within the American Jewish community.
