The Congress for the Sabbath took place at the initiative of the Histadrut HaMizrahi in the United States, with the participation of the rabbinical associations and other organizations. The congress raised the issue of the importance and value of keeping the Sabbath in a country where, at the time, multitudes of Jews desecrated it in order to earn larger livings. See more in the attached article from the HaTzofeh newspaper, from 18 May 1942.
