I don't think that <i>tzni'uth</i>, which is one of a woman's most important <i>misswoth</i>, is one of them.<br /><br />According to Rav Eliyahu ztz"l's p'saq din, Gila Finkelstein never should have bee in the K'nesseth. The fact that she was probably the NRP's best MK ever, is irrelevant.<br /><br />And, speaking of mayors, Daniella Weiss of <i>Qedumim</i>, IMO, was one of the best mayors in Israel, certainly in the <i>Shomron</i> and <i>Yehudah</i>, and did not buy into gov't pressure or <i>Shomron</i> or <i>Yesha</i> Council pressure (which was probably worse). She stuck by her ideals and principles.<br /><br />Just curious, has anyone out there been to RBS B'? I have friends there, and hope to visit B' and A'. I have never been to either.<br /><br />Let's go together.<br /><br />Who knows, maybe people out there will stop demonizing B' due to its minority, and I will let go of my own prejudice, and stop referring to A' as a ghetto ("American").<br /><br />Belze stays far away from any of these shenanigans, and I believe that Karlin does, too.<br /><br />I guess this warrants further investigation. Who's having me over for Shabbath?<br /><br />P. S. I was told by a guy I know from A' that if I want to pass into B', if I'm wearing tights, they'll let me pass.<br /><br />You mean לאנגע ווייסר זאקן? I asked.<br /><br />He gave me a blank stare.<br /><br />Now that I think about it, I should run for mayor of Beit Shemesh.Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-22695174909969163742013-07-31T23:18:23.092+03:002013-07-31T23:18:23.092+03:00From the Kalashnokver Rebbe:

Is she shomer Shabbat?<br /><br />How dare you judge her for her imperfections! This only leads to Sinat Chinam!<br /><br />As to her phrase "escalating ultra-Orthodox intolerance", I know plenty of "black hatter" Beit Shemesh residents - their wives have their sleeves down to their wrists and their tichels set to maximum - who will say the same and worse, after what they have been through over the last several years.<br /><br />And <a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/170456" rel="nofollow"><i><b>speaking of the devil...</b></i></a>Shy Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104227389210314550noreply@blogger.com
