In the ongoing battle between the Gerre tzibur in Arad and the city’s Yesh Atid party-affiliated mayor, Nisan Ben-Hamo, the mayor scored a victory.
Arad police would not permit Gerrer Chassidim hold a planned protest outside City Hall as they advertised would take place. police report they were ordered by the mayor’s office not to permit the protest under any circumstances.
The response form the Gerrer community was “If we cannot protest in Arad then we will protest in Bnei Brak. The main thing is that our voice be heard”.
Yesh Atid party leader MK Yair Lapid stated “The chareidim can protest in Bnei Brak or Meah Shearim. We will not permit disrupting the tranquility and daily routine of the residents of Arad.

If they demonstrate outside City Hall maybe the mayor will hear their pleas at last, hopefully!
It sounds reasonable to want to go on with their daily lives
#1their pleas are heard
Outrageous!Aren’t there any protection for minorities or are rights only for non-charedi minorities??
it was very gracious of the mayor to give them permission to protest in BB!
