Arctic Sabbath

This probably would be a good name for a band. But having just heard a sermon about the Sabbath last weekend, and reflecting on the fact that the length of the Sabbath differs with the seasons, it struck me that in the arctic and in Antarctica, the Sabbath, and any Jewish or other observance that depends on sunset, could face serious issues.

I discovered that I was not the only person to have thought about this. There is a Wikipedia page dedicated to “Jewish Law in the Polar Regions.”

But I thought that “Arctic Sabbath” sounds better as a band name than “Polar Sabbath.”
