I’m not trying to make anyone angry, just curious. Why wouldn’t you be able to pray in the morning? If you are gettting up at a certain time to pray every day, why is it any different when the clocks switch? It’s still the same hour, just something the body gets used to again. Not too terribly hard if you go to sleep a tad bit early. I dont know a whole lot about the Jewish religion, but does it have something to do with a specific time kind of thing?

Daylight saving????????? The next night we had the episode with the child who woke us up in the middle of the night to relieve himself and then cried because he had dropped his yarmulka into the toilet BEFORE he had flushed and this was not a simple matter…….Gross! Then he couldn’t go back to sleep because he remembered that he hadn’t brought home his homework…which we all ready knew (at 4 o/c and now it was 1o/c in the morning!)
Then 5 hours later it was time to start the day…….which was long!

Very funny! This is a great post…..I know how you feel about Daylight savings time but I have always felt that as a mum of little kids it doesn’t make any difference. They wake up and do their own thing regardless of whether I could be getting an extra hour of sleep. Like the little one we had sharing the bedroom with us last night vomiting throughout the night and sweating with a fever. Who cares about that hour? I didn’t sleep all night anyway! They do their thing! Wouldn’t have it any other way!

You should know too, Markey’s DST plan also really messes things up for religious Jews. If we had DST all year long, it would be impossible for most of us to pray before work.
