The ywn links posted on this thread by the editor are most helpful for those not in Beit shemesh or surrounding areas to get a flavour of what is going on.
The area of Beit Shemesh has always had a mixed population in terms of observance, the so called “charedi” that have moved in have no right to move into an area and insult its inhabitants and disrupt local life.
One of my children works in a hospital close by, it seem ironical that he is a frum doctor treating people whom he may see later on screaming abuse at children as they walk to school, children clad in long sleeved, high necked tops and long loose skirts.
No one should be screamed at, no one should be insulted, egged, spat upon or threatened, irrespective of their dress. As a grandmother and mother it is so deeply distressing to think of jews behaving like this to other jews.
Where is the modesty in insulting and rubbishing women and little girls, hear the language yelled at this people and it is obscene, not jewish, certainly not charedi and plain wrong.
check out the ywn links for your own information, some of the other links on you tube and national press are too distressing to watch. I pray that soon some of our great rabbis will speak out as this cannot continue, religious indignation is being used to score political points and destroy a country, enough jewish blood has been split over the years, we do not need to torment our own.
