In this assignment we are asked to edit someone else's translation. The choice he/she made for this was "America All Week Round". I'm curious, however, if a better more idiomatic choice is not available, such as - "This Week in America", or something else........
Thanks for you thoughts.

America from Saturday To Saturday
The literal translation, I think, conserves the connotation that America has become a Jewish colony that takes rest only on the Jewish day of Sabbath.
I think the repetition of السبت is the clue to this connotation.
