This never happened during the entire history of Israel!

It's about time those degenerate nobodies understand that they are not a law unto themselves.

Certainly there are more pressing things to write about. Oops, I forgot, Y Net loves to Haredi bash.

between the very super ultra extreme religious, between the wacky lady protesters, between the Israeli super courts, and the newspapers looking for something sensational,to get readers, we can't seem to put together a whole brain from this mess!

Jewish law requires separation of men from others. Laws need enforcers. The authorities of a Jewish state should play this role. Instead, they allow feminists to speak out against Hashem's will. They can see that all around us everything is getting worse. Can't they see why?

Can any of you pleaes help me translate the world Taliban into Hebrew

It's forbidden to separate men and women by having them walk on opposite sides of the sidewalk but it's legal to forbid Jews from building on Israeli lands; Yehudah & Shomron. Something stinks in Denmark... and Israel.

I am all for women's rights and equality, but in this situation, has anyone asked the women living in the neighborhood been asked what they want?

and you never read the Talmud and you never learned anything about Judaism. What we separate is the holy from the profane, dairy and meat. Women are not holy and men are not profane though some seem to have a propensity towards it. And I know decent Haredim in the area who dislike the behavior of the extremists but they "know better" than to open their mouths due to violence by ignorant "yeshiva" boys whose job in the Yeshiva seems to be violence in the streets rather than book reading.

its Talmid Taliban=Student Talmid=Yeshiva thug

Your "definitions" hold true for the chareidi religion, but not for authentic traditional Judaism. I cannot think of a single instance in Jewish history when public streets were segregated in the manner that the modern chareidi religion now advocates. So let's be careful to distinguish between the Jewish Talmud and Jewish talmidim from the chareidi distortions.

"Modesty guards", "separation", isn't his what the Taliban or Saudis do?

It's a pity that the irreligious High Court has to interfere to restore sanity. I have walked in Mea Shearim - there barely is any sidewalk at all, and guess who pushes strollers - not the men, I am afraid. Wish our rabbis would have the courage to act in favor of common sense and common good. Maybe next year.

And for all Jews who want such a state, they are free to leave and establish a theocratic state elsewhere. Israel must and WILL remain a country for ALL Jews! The haredim have no ownership of public sidewalks. Open minded Jews will no accept a Jewish Taliban oppurating with imunnity to the law in the Jewish state.

wherever they wanted. The men are not davening in the center of the street. Fully dressed women will not infect men and need not shun the street. I admire Chardi religious dedication, but closing a public street to females is going way too far off the deep end.

where they'd no doubtebly fit in well. (and #5, you make me sick too)

It doesn't matter what the women of the neighborhood want. The streets don't just belong to people living there. They belong to the citizens of Israel, both men and women. Women should be free to walk anywhere they please throughout the country.

The question is "Which side of the street Dorit Beinish would walk on?"

It tells us to "burn out" evil from our midst and to do "all" that the rabbis of our generation instruct. It also explains the punishment if we disobey: exile, persecution, etcetera, exaction what our history is full of. We are heading there again as the court of "justice" forcibly injects Western ways into the one place left that obeys the call of simple halacha.

This so called "High Court of Justice" is the most anti-democratic institution. Worse than the Supreme Court in the former Soviet Union, which was at least an elected body. BAGATZ represents a tiny fraction of the population, the most extreme anti-Jewish groups. It's a pity that the Mea Shearim residents didn't give a good fight to these vicious provocators.

Some weeks ago the same High court ruled that a boy should go to a religious school . Also anti Jewish then ? You see , those mea shearim "people" don't contribute anything to the country , they only know to milk thje State . But they want only rights for them . Let them go to live in Uman , that's a nice place for them [ and maybe some nice ukrainians will liquidate them ]

This meddlesome court is imposing its own secular values on a population that wants to live its life in accordance with other basic principles. Let them and leave them alone. Secular coercion rears its ugly head once again.

Separating State from religion ? great . So we will not recognise religious weddings anymore , no more funding for religion [ rabbanim , synagogues and schools ] No more mandatory rest day on shabbat , free to eat anything we want when we want , and so on . Is it that that you want ? Some weeks ago , the same High court ruled in favor of religion . Also "secular coercision" ?

but refuse to guard Israel against the enemy. They mostly do not pay taxes so they do not own the streets.

Simple solution: women in Mea Shearim must wear the hijab with only a slit for the eyes. Where does the idea that men cannot control themselves come from?

My question is: Why do these people that felt the need to protest have to be in Mea Shearim in the first place? They can shop elsewhere or else respect the feelings of the local people. It looks to me like they just want to cause trouble!!

see what happens. They will be walking down the street wearing string tongs....but hey, they fight in the IDF and help protect Israel, that should say something. They earn their freedom.

What makes you think that women will walk down the street wearing string thongs given the chance? Women in most of the western world, including Israel are are free to dress as they please, but I don't see many string thongs around.
