Agreement Reached to Place a Mechitzah at ‘Guy Beach’ in Tiveria


sbeAfter a long battle on behalf of the chareidi tzibur, a fence has been constructed around Guy Beach in Tiveria to prevent passersby from viewing persons at the beach. Chareidi askanim in Tiveria sent a message to relevant officials that if the beach is not closed off then a large protest by the chareidi community would take place.

Rav Dov Kook has been involved in the mechitzah, instructing his followers to distance themselves from the beach until such time modesty standards are what they should be. The rav played a vital role in negotiations with the relevant authorities and an agreement was reached to close off the beach area.
