1. court rules no more separating men & women at funerals
Leib ,   new amsterdam   (12.10.14)
Do the man and the women have to be all together all the time what is wrong with these people grow up
2. Separation at funerals sounds like a good idea to me since
Rivkah   (12.10.14)
there is a lot of emotion and that makes it easier for predators to prey on the unwary. Sex predators prey on women and men and children.
3. Secular selfappointed undemocratic Gdless court attheir best
(12.10.14)
These G-dless judges are out to strike at G-d in any way possible.
4. "G-dless court"
Alon ,   W Hartford CT USA   (12.10.14)
Whatever you want to say about the court, the real problem is the 2 groups of petitioners who had no actual claim or grievance. Israel's court system must be restrained so that only those with real claims can bring such actions. That alone would stop judicial legislating and regulation making. Further, it's time to strip Weinstein and his office of its role to approve every law and regulation - again let the legal system deal with really injured parties' grievances.
5. Can't sons accompany their mother
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (12.10.14)
at their father's burial?
6. The real problem is the religious fanatics
Charlie Hall ,   Bronx, NY   (12.10.14)
who insist on pushing their stringent interpretations on everyone else. Kudos to the court here for coming up with a solution that should be satisfactory to everyone.
7. Some people will do anything to get their name in public!
Shadoil79 ,   Jerusalem   (12.10.14)
8. Haredim
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (12.11.14)
In most Haredi circles the women do not go to the burial, just to the eulogies said in town prior to the burial. Men only do the burial in most Haredi circles, making the signs irrelevant for Haredim and annoying for mainstream Yidden..
9. Rivkah,
Walt K ,   Sherbrooke, Canada   (12.13.14)
Sex predators in funerals ! Are you serious ?
