1. Ramat Bet Shemesh is little New York.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (05.26.09)
English is as prevalent there as Russian is in my home town.
2. No more beit shemesh settlers
Phil Stine   (05.26.09)
Send them back to Amerika.
3. Housing for Jews
Rina ,   Israel   (05.26.09)
We still need more housing for Jews in Jerusalem since demographic experts predict an Arab majority there in the future. If it weren't for the Hareidim, Jerusalem would have had an Arab majority a while ago.
4. # 3 Rina do i smell rascisim
AVI ,   ISRAEL   (05.27.09)
How sad that you talk of " Arab majoirites" what has it come down to the fact that jews must bring children in to this world in order to fullfill the need to be a majority that can impose its will on other segments of our population. No wonder we hear of cased of child abuse in the chareedi community practically on a daily basis. Children should be born out of love not hatred towards our arab population.
5. Beit Shemesh is NOT majority chareidi
Dov ,   Beit Shemesh   (05.27.09)
Contrary to what the news says, Beit Shemesh is not majority chareidi at all. There's a huge influx of dati leumi and "chardal" olim from the USA that work throughout the Israeli workforce. Unfortunately the chareidi sector is so vocal and extreme that they give a nice town a bad name.
6. #5 To the majority of talk backers
mafdalit   (05.27.09)
on these here columns, you (we) ARE all the same. And they call US narrow minded, what a laugh.
7. An opportunity
Yakov   (05.27.09)
With so many housing units coming about, those who were from Gush Katif should have the first opportunity to settle in Beit Shemesh. They need and deserve a chance to rebuild their lives, and Beit Shemesh is a very good option near a major city.
8. housing
colin   (05.28.09)
Big Deal Beit Shemesh to build thousands of houses LIES FALSEHOOD Attias wil build a ne wharidi area only. As minister he does not include the majority of the younger population for housing ONLY THE DATIM OR HARIDIM
9. Bet Shemesh is becoming Mea Shearim
Haim ,   Bet Shemesh   (06.10.09)
Bet Shemesh may not be charedi yet but its on its way. With thousands of new haredim moving in and many of the more modern Jews being forced out, it seems inevitable. They just elected a Charedi mayor for the first time too! How do they accomplish that without power?
