Why permanent daylight saving time may be better for your health — as Congress revisits clock change

The House of Representatives passed the Sunshine Protection Act, which aims to make Daylight Saving Time permanent to potentially improve health outcomes. However, Orthodox Jewish organizations are opposing the bill. These groups argue that permanent Daylight Saving Time would force morning prayer services to begin after 9 a.m. in certain regions. Consequently, this shift would cause observant Jews to arrive late for their professional work commitments and school schedules across various parts of the country.
