Yerushalayim city councilor Yochanan Weitzman of Agudas Yisroel warned that the city’s failure to stop selling tickets on Shabbos and Yom Tov at the Biblical Zoo is a blatant violation of coalition agreements reached with Mayor Moshe Leon.
Noting a Ramat Gan recreation center has been operating without chillul Shabbos since last year, he said, “With good will on all sides, it is possible to find common ground that preserves the honor of Shabbos.”
Yisroel Beiteinu leader Avigdor Lieberman slammed Weitzman’s demand, saying, “This is a brutal and forceful chareidi attempt to turn Israel from a Jewish state to a halachic state.”
