Whenever there is a general conflict with a Charedi (even extremist) group, a Charedi official is powerless to do anything about it.<br /><br />A Charedi mayor recommends closing a school instead of arresting extremists harassing the student body. A Charedi deputy minister tries to yield to extremist protests over expanding a hospital even when normative halacha allows it and the hospital isn't even specifically religious. Now the Charedi minister of religious affairs cannot even administer his jurisdiction - instead he turns to secular politicians to intervene. So what message does that send?MiriamSnoreply@blogger.com
