Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss President Trump’s proclamation encouraging Americans to observe Shabbat 250 as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration. The discussion explores the significance of a presidential recognition of the Jewish Sabbath, its historical context, and the relationship between government acknowledgments of religious traditions and religious liberty.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Hat Trick, Inc. Panelists examine allegations that a Chick-fil-A franchise failed to accommodate an employee’s Saturday Sabbath observance, raising questions about employers’ obligations under federal law to provide reasonable religious accommodations in the workplace.
