Sabbath-Sunday Bill Survey Shows Support

(IsraelNN.com) MK Zevulun Orlev (NRP) has announced the findings of a poll showing 56% support amongst Israelis for his proposed legislation making Sunday a day of rest and allowing some public transportation and entertainment on the Sabbath.

Orlev's bill would change the official approach to Sabbath as the country's day of rest.

The bill stipulates that such transportation and entertainment would be carried out with maximum sensitivity to the religious public.
