(02.03.08)
3. maybe it's because the lady in the photo looks too much like
bob ,   potomac md usa   (02.03.08)
Maybe its because the lady in the picutre in your article looks too much like "Church Lady" Oly certain hardeim don't photgrpah women--I get fundrasing catalogues several time a year in which the faces of women are air blown into a cloud/ I have a friend who used to work on a haredi women's magazine in which there were no photogrpahs of women. He said that they were afraid that the husbands would take the magazine into the bathroom. Instad of getting all riled up about this, just laugh it off --and let naomi Began win her law suit.
4. Purpose of this article?
Avraham R ,   Bet Shemesh   (02.03.08)
The purpose of this article is to ridicule and create (and further) hate of a segment of Israeli society. The issue can be discussed and analyzed and disagreed with, but publishing this article was not for that purpose- its purpose is as stated above.
5. The Torah FORBIDS ADDING PROHIBITIONS
Sergio ,   Israel   (02.03.08)
NOWHERE is written that a woman's picture is forbidden, except in TALIBAN LAW and in the SICK MIND of their Jewish imitators. ADDING [prohibitions} TO TORAH IS AS FORBIDDEN AS EATING PORK: both are negative mitswoth. BESIDES, these guys commit also the trespass of the prohibition of imitating the ways of the gentiles (THE WORST, in this case, THE TALIBANS) and of publicly desecrating the Name of G-od by creating hatred for what the public at large might perceive as Torah, while it is not.
6. May God Bless the Haredim...
Palestinian   (02.03.08)
They are very straight and god loving people, they are an example of the disciplined faithful.
7. So stupid...
Ezra ,   Canada   (02.03.08)
... they should have remove all of them from the picture as He shall from the power !
8. What a scoop!!!
LEE ,   NY, USA   (02.03.08)
Ultra-orthodox media never feature photos of women. Is this news to anyone? What happened, not enough Orthodox-bashing material this week?
9. Medusa was a beauty queen compared to Haredi women
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (02.03.08)
10. With a face like hers.I would have erased her as well.
Al   (02.03.08)
Geez talk about being dog ass ugly. I dont care if she is a top jurist,he is crack ass ugly. Give her a bottle of Clairol for christ sake.

(02.03.08)
12. Women removed...
Edithann   (02.03.08)
No, it's not stupid..it's very, very telling...and refreshingly honest for a change...
13. hey, ynet's on top of it
chaim ,   jerusalem, israel   (02.03.08)
this has been true for years and years, and all of a sudden it's a front-page story? why is this news? it is their world, they live it as they want. and some putz in transylvania thinks it's disgusting, because it doesn't fit in with his life style?
14. HAHAHAAAHAHAA so pathetic you can't help but laugh
idan   (02.03.08)
15. Now I know,why haredi look like zombi-they all transformer's
Mike ,   London   (02.03.08)
16. Oh Ynet, don't you just love it?
Shalom   (02.03.08)
Where is the news here? What do you care? Does it change your life if the Chareidi press choose which photos to show and which not? Personally I think it's a case of having a "cross the board" decision so that they don't run into individual decisions later on. So what?
17. Ultra-Orthodox press digitally erases women from images
ploni ,   jerusalem   (02.03.08)
sorry, but they irrased her because she is extremely ugly. and didn't want to offend the readers.
18. Ms Sela. You don't like it?
Bored as usual ,   ynet country   (02.03.08)
So don't go into websites not meant for you. You get PAID for writing this drivel? THAT'S the disgusting and obscene part of all this, Ms Sela. Usual boring ynet stuff. Get a life, woman.
19. Lada'at web site not meant for primitives
Tal   (02.03.08)
like this insular narrow minded writer. But this insular narrow minded writer is very suited to Ynet. They are so impressed by this hashed over million times drivel, that they printed it both in Hebrew AND English. Wow! How hard up can Ynet be? Hilarious, if this is their level of exciting 'scoop'.! Good luck this morning, Shachar Pe'er. Ynet wont say that to you. They're too elated with the above rubbish.
20. #9 - Medusa was actually beautiful
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (02.03.08)
It was only her snakey hair that was petrifying (or maybe it was the startling combination of the beautiful face and snakey hair).
21. Tal # 19 , but who is reading this ?
charles ,   petach tikva   (02.03.08)
civilised ? don't make me laugh !
22. Why the supprise? Seen how ugly they are?
S Judah ,   London   (02.03.08)
Seriously though, its their paper and if their readership dont want to see them why print them? Uts not censorship, it is a consense view. Woman have their own magazines.
23. Everyone makes a joke about...
Josh   (02.03.08)
...them yet these are the people seculars call wise men and sages. These are the people that seculars say are correct about Torah. Who treats their souls like buying a candy bar? People are more careful when buying a used car than accpeting a kooky Rabbi to interpret Torah for them. Go ahead consult men who can't allow the Jewish nation to see a fully clothed woman. Do they fear it would violate their position as the shidook of women to their followers? Want a woman, be a good brainwashed puppy and you'll get a good looking one, don't be a good student and you get an ugly fat one? The unlimate go between position just as a any cult leader would want. Wise up. Chet additions added by Babylonian cults will not allow us to get the blessings of chose life if we follow the kooky men away from Torah laws. So who is funnier, the dati that doctor news images to remove a woman from the picture or the friars that follow such foolish men?
24. So what?
Roland ,   Jerusalem Israel   (02.03.08)
So yes internet is open to all!!...You have "don't hide anything" websites and in the other hand you have "don't show everything" websites. And in the middle all kind of degrees in matter of modesty. This is an excellent thing that Haredis jews have their websites too!! kol hakavod! Freedom for all!
25. SUPPORT SHINUI IN ISRAEL !
RCA ,   USA   (02.03.08)
26. What did they do
Sha ,   NY   (02.03.08)
before there was photoshop? And what about way back when Golda was PM? . Or was she too ugly to worry about horny haredim wanking off to her photo?
27. So? Ynet omits TRUTH from it's website.
Etoile ,   Montreal, Canada   (02.03.08)
28. The Burqa has the same purpose
Joe ,   California   (02.03.08)
The burqa was a lo-tech way of doing the same thing - women are not seen, and therefore do not exist. How it must be to be a haredi daughter, with no photographic examples of women in leadership roles?
29. #5 your talking trash
Elchonon ,   Chevron   (02.03.08)
Sorry but you are just plain rubbish.. they had no photo's back then so you cant equate anything.. You are the talibain here.. what ever happend to freedom of speech ? ladaat is a private entity.. they choose what to publish. The same goes for rimon and nativ ISP's they are commercial services.. You nutcases are funny.. if chareidim block out pictures we haqve talkbacks like #25 screaming "support shinui in israel" Indeed, those that scream that chareidim try to force their life style i.e, shabbat observance etc.. on others.. want to force their lifestyle i.e. women, immodesty etc.. on others.. Your all a bunch of 2 faced hypocrytes.
30. HAREDIS ARE EXACTLY LIKE SAUDIS
Sick of all fanatics   (02.04.08)
