Trump Proclaims May 15–16 as National Sabbath Day in U.S. Proclamation

Trump Proclaims May 15–16 as National Sabbath Day in U.S. Proclamation

I can’t believe Trump has declared May 15th a National Sabbath Day, starting at sundown on the 15th and ending at nightfall on the 16th. He invites people of all backgrounds to observe a day of rest, reflection, and gratitude rooted in Jewish tradition. The proclamation honors Revolutionary War financier Haym Salomon, praising his role in America’s independence and calling his legacy a testament to belief in the American promise. Trump also denounced rising anti-Semitism on college campuses, claiming his administration is prosecuting hateful crimes to the fullest extent and working to end anti-Jewish violence nationwide. Some critics argue this move signals that America has shifted from a Christian identity toward a closer alignment with Israel, calling the nation an “anti-Christian enclave.”

Cool idea! How do you picture people from other faiths celebrating a shared Sabbath day together?

It's interesting this proclamation frames rest and reflection in distinctly religious terms yet addresses a diverse national audience regardless of faith.

I no sure say inviting everyone to observe this National Sabbath Day will resonate well with non-Jewish faiths or secular folks looking for meaningful rest.

Folks wanting to join could set aside digital devices at sundown on May 15th and plan a personal gratitude practice to honor the day.
