Bet Shemesh: Separation Between Haredim and National Religious


  -- Srugim

Here we go again. Bet Shemesh has had relative quiet for too long...

no, this is not a decision to split the city. Just a Matnas (the RBS matnas) that is splitting the week between Haredi activities and DL activities, with specific days each week for each.

I understand perfectly why they want this and do this. I understand perfectly why the other communities bristle at this.

The one question I have that was never answered is if the Haredi community is always insisting on doing things separately, why have they been so opposed to splitting the city (regardless of whether I think it is a good idea or not) - they want to keep everything separate anyway!

  1. Because Charedim only stand on principle when it's to their benefit.

    Separate Matnas - benefit.
    Separate city - detriment.

  2. I am hearing stories that the Matnas is asking people who want to sign up for chugim where their kids go to school and then saying the chug is all filled up and no room for that child.
