The parking lot opening was deemed necessary because they are blocking car access to the old city. Are the Haredim saying they prefer cars in the old city rather than a parking lot that is operating according to halacha, even if the people using it are not. <br /><br />I lived a block from Bar Illan Street the year it was the big area of protest. I know what I saw with my eyes and how different it was from what my family saw in the news. I wonder how 'violent' the protests actually are.ehwhyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436676108396672275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-92021394438379526112009-06-08T19:50:17.361+03:002009-06-08T19:50:17.361+03:00Because he's a tool of the charedi leadership....Because he's a tool of the charedi leadership.

There's is a life bordering on tyranny from our own side and terror from the other.<br /><br />The sanctity of Shabbat and most everything else has been whittled away over the years throughout the country and more and more in Jerusalem, Ir Hakodesh.<br /><br />So are we to remain silent? Stand on a street corner and go home after an hour?<br /><br />I'm not convinced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
