Hace años los nacionalistas religiosos impulsaron un proyecto de ley que daría a los israelíes un día libre cada mes, su plan utilizaria a rosh chodesh (primer dia del mes). Fue derrotado. Como resultado, el único día de descanso en Israel es Shabbos (El Sabado) y muchos piensan que el resultado es un aumento de chilul Shabbos (violacion del Mandamiento de guardar El Sabado).
El difunto rabino Meir Kahane MK HY "D fue uno de los que creían que los israelíes deberían tener los domingos como dia de descanso como es en los Estados Unidos. Se propuso mover el deporte nacional, el fútbol, para los domingos, y esto resultaría en cientos de miles de sefardíes que optan por ir a shul (la escuela los dominigos) en lugar de los partidos de fútbol. Esto tampoco ocurrió. Estos esfuerzos se basan en el hecho de que los medio días de descanso en Erev Shabbod (los Viernes) no se pierdan, por ello también aumentaría chilul Shabbos chas v’sholom (violacion del Sabado, que Dios nos libre!).
En esta ocasión el ministro (Likud) Silvan Shalom puede tener suficiente apoyo para su plan, para declarar el Domingo un día de descanso, y el viernes se convirtiria en un día de trabajo regular. Sin lugar a dudas esto será recibido por fuertes objeciones de los Chareidi (Judios Ultra-ortodoxos), temiendo que el día de descanso sería a expensas de chilul Shabbos (violacion del Sabado) para aquellos que no pueden salir del trabajo y de llegar a casa a tiempo para Shabbos (El Sabado).
Shalom comparecerá el domingo 22 de Tamuz 5773 (30 de Junio, 2013) para convocar una reunión con representantes de la Oficina del Primer Ministro, los expertos en economía, los funcionarios vinculados a Galilea y el Desarrollo Néguev, y otros en su intento para avanzar su proyecto de ley. Shalom desea tener un "fin de semana al estilo de los Estados Unidos de América" en Israel, en lugar de la situación actual en la que muchos de ellos descansan los Viernes y los otros trabajan solo medio día.
Shalom y los partidarios del plan consideran esto le dará a los residentes "un verdadero fin de semana". Shalom cree que la medida resultaria en gran aumento en el turismo interno, pues los israelíes podrian descansar y viajar durante el fin de semana. Él propone un periodo de prueba, tal vez cuatro domingos durante un período de meses como un ensayo para determinar la viabilidad de la transición.

Cabinet to Consider Sunday as the Day of Rest
(Thursday, June 27th, 2013)
The National Religious Party years ago pushed a bill that would give Israelis a day off monthly, working its plan around rosh chodesh. It was defeated. As a result, the only day off in Israel is Shabbos and many feel that the result is increased chilul Shabbos.
The late MK Rabbi Meir Kahane HY”D was among those who felt Israeli should have Sundays off as is the case in the USA. He proposed moving the national sport, soccer; to Sundays, and this would result in hundreds of thousands of Sephardim opting to go to shul instead of soccer matches. This too did not occur. These efforts were premised on the fact that the half day off on erev Shabbos would not be forfeited, for doing so would also increase chilul Shabbos chas v’sholom.
This time around Minister (Likud) Silvan Shalom may has sufficient support for his plan, to declare Sunday a day of rest and Friday would become a regular work day. Undoubtedly this will be met by fierce chareidi objections, fearing the day off would be at the expense of chilul Shabbos for those unable to get out of work and home in time for Shabbos.
Shalom will on Sunday, 22 Tammuz 5773 convene a meeting with representatives of the Prime Minister’s Office, economic experts, officials connected to Galil and Negev development and others as he seeks to advance his bill. Shalom wishes to have an “American weekend” in Israel instead of the current situation in which many are off on Fridays and those who work end after a half day.
Shalom and supporters of the plan feel this will give residents “a real weekend off”. Shalom believes the move would result in sharp increase in internal tourism as Israelis would be able to go away for a weekend. He is proposing a trial run, perhaps four Sundays over a period of months as a trial to ascertain the feasibility of the changeover.
