| Why 'black hats' had nothing to celebrate |
|
In reply to Richard Manville's letter, please don't be ashamed and
don't be depressed - we the 'black hats' are not ashamed or depressed.
Can Mr Manville tell me what Israel has done to benefit 'the black hat'? It has penalised large families by taking away more than 50 per cent of their child benefits, taken millions of shekels away from yeshivot and all Torah institutions, not forgetting taking money away from chessed institutions (and where have all these millions of shekalim gone?) How many of the secular government ministers recently have been found guilty of fraud, embezzlement etc and wanting to give half of Yerushalayim to the Arabs? For this we have to celebrate? Last week there was a pride parade in the heart of Yerushalayim. Why there of all places, the holiest place in the world? What's wrong to do it in the centre of Tel-Aviv? Can you imagine having such a parade in Vatican City or in the centre of Mecca? I certainly can't imagine and do you know why? because it would never happen. For this reason we have to celebrate? Do you really, really expect to see 'black hats' dancing in a mixed group of boys and girls and married women? Listening to the ladies singing? Be real, I'm very happy that everybody enjoyed themselves, but stop charedi bashing. Shlomo Ezagui,
