Telegram to Prime Minister Golda Meir about Making Rosh Chodesh a Rest Day (1971)

The undersigned urgently employ you ito use your influence in securing passage of Labor Bill Amendment on Rosh Hodesh introduced by MK Zevulun Hammer now in Labor Committee Stop We feel resulting social harmony and respite from religious conflict well worth nine days rest per year Stop The Rosh Hodesh proposal is a creative solution, will contribute to greater understanding and less friction amoung Jews of different religious persuasion and make an aliyah easier from American Jews accustomed to five day week Stop Your intervention will be deeply appreciated by all segments of American Jewry to whom Israel is dear
