1. Good luck to those women
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.02.13)
who hopely will resist pressure to stay in their kitchen .
2. women
john ,   toronto   (10.02.13)
I am always in favor of women in politics who are in public position to serve society. With men who keep losing their blessings, the hope is in women. I hope money and religion are kept out of politics.
3. Watch out ;) ,...
split ,   US   (10.02.13)
An old Polish proverb say ; 'Where the devil can't succeed, he'll send a woman'. Once upon the time there was a Trojan horse that was used to open the door for looting (if you believe in Greek fairy tales) this may be the orthodox Jewish mare ;) ,...
4. yay.

''Hopefully'' Charles.
6. A democratic and human right...
robert ,   antwerp belgium   (10.02.13)
It's absolutedly right and necessary that women have a voice in politics, wether orthodox or not. Women , and I don't have to say it, are an essential part of the future of the country. It's only right that they have a voice on how towns and the government spends tax money, on providing equal job opportunity and fighting discrimination wherever it exists.
7. It's about time!
Danny ,   London England   (10.02.13)
Every city council should have some women who can do their best for women and children. I recall back in the 1950's in the States our Yeshivah had a men's committee to raise funds and a women's committee to deal with dorms, diets, health and safety etc. Men and women both have a role to play.
8. Haredi Moms
American Sabrah ,   Israel   (10.03.13)
Hopefully the religious zealots of Beit Shemesh and Meah Shearim won't attempt to track them down and intimidate them with threats and violence to leave the arena of politics. These loonies feel threatened by women with political power and will often try to scare them off. My only hope is that these women will have the balls (or ovaries in their case) to stand up to them and not let them stand in their way.
9. Go for it, sisters!
Lisa ,   Israel   (10.03.13)
