the great Garbage Rebellion of Mea Shearim
The following pashkevil went up on the walls of the Mea Shearim area... it is protesting the increasing chilul shabbos around the country, especially in Jerusalem, with additional bus lines going into operation and an increasing number of stores opening for business, with municipal money being spent on chilul shabbos activities.It has even reached the point with the city providing its cleaning and garbage collection services on Shabbos itself in a number of areas such as in the Mahane Yehuda area.
Because of all that, the writers are calling for a garbage rebellion. Anybody who holds Shabbos as valuable will take his garbage out and place it in the streets rather than in the garbage bins and leave the garbage in the middle of the lanes. This will be an expression of protest that is measured, mida knegged mida.
Throw the garbage in the middle of the streets? To me it just sounds like every other protest and rally they hold out there in that part of the world...

I really don't get this, the only possible outcome I can see from throwing garbage in the street on Thursday, Friday, and Shabbat is that there will be rotting garbage and terrible smells throughout the neighborhood, especially on Shabbat. The only people who will suffer or be inconvenienced will be the residents - sounds like a very strange type of demonstration.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if theya re worried about garbage collectors working on Shabbat, giving them extra work to do on Thursday and Friday can only make the situation worse.
Then again I don't always understand the logic of every pashkavil posted on Mea Sharim, but Facebook has taught me to ignoring illogical comments posted on someone's wall.
Not just protests and rallies...
