The main strip in Raanana, Ahuza, is almost entirely closed on Shabbat, restaurants and stores, and I'm not even sure the non-kosher places are open. In contrast, the area of 'the park' where River is located, is the area where stuff is open on Shabbat. Perhaps the Meretz people are now feeling that some status quo is being breached since someone in 'their area' as turned?Joshnoreply@blogger.com
