Beit Shemesh begins court-ordered removal of ‘modesty’ signs
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Beit Shemesh municipality begins the court-ordered removal of the “modesty” signs in the city.
Large numbers of police are deployed to protect municipal workers from hard line ultra-Orthodox residents protesting the removal of the signs.
Shortly after one of the signs was removed from Nahar Hayarden Street in the neighborhood of Ramat Beit Shemesh, spray-painted instructions appeared on a nearby wall ordering residents to keep the sidewalks gender segregated.
The signs are being removed in accordance with a High Court of Justice ruling.
