Arabic term or phrase: امريكا من السبت الى السبت
This is the name of a magazine covering American issues in Arabic mass media.
(درسية اسبوعية ترصد الاهتمامات والشؤون الامريكية في وسائل الاعلام العربية)

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


Explanation:
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.
