How do haredim repair their relations with their fellow Israelis? – Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer on the coronavirus and rethinking the relationship between haredim and Israeli society. | Israel National News
In the last week of January 2021, thousands of Israeli haredim protested and rioted in Bnei Brak.
The rioters were angry at the government’s efforts to enforce a lockdown―not Israel’s first―meant to suppress the coronavirus. Several days later, over 10,000 haredim congregated to mourn the passing of an eminent rabbi, again in violation of the lockdown.
For all the frustration that Israel’s haredim feel, their refusal to comply with the lockdowns has generated an equal measure of frustration and resentment among non-ḥaredi Israelis.
