Haredi parties said staying away from right-wing rally because of gender-mixing
The ultra-Orthodox Shas and United Torah Judaism parties will not attend an “emergency” rally this evening against a potential minority government backed by Arab lawmakers as men and women will be sitting together, Channel 13 reports.
According to the network, the event is also expected to include female singing. Under Orthodox law, men are prohibited from hearing women sing in certain contexts.
