Why Orthodox Jews are opposing the new daylight saving bill in Congress

Orthodox Jewish communities are vocally opposing a new daylight saving bill in Congress because it could shift morning prayer times to post-9 a.m. in some regions, disrupting their religious schedules and causing many observant Jews to arrive late for work or school. This change would impact their ability to balance faith and daily responsibilities, raising concerns about the potential erosion of religious freedom and personal autonomy. The opposition highlights the broader debate on how societal changes, like time adjustments, can intersect with deeply held traditions and daily life.
