Yeshiva student strips in T.A. store to protest chametz sale

A 28-year-old yeshiva student was arrested late Sunday for the second time after undressing completely in a Tel Aviv supermarket with only a sock to cover his genitals, to protest the store's sale of chametz during Passover.

The same student was arrested for pulling the same stunt last year in a Bat Yam store, after the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court passed a controversial ruling which permitted the sale of chametz (foods Jewish law prohibits on Passover) in some businesses.

The court ruled then that the matzot law, which prohibits the display of chametz, in public places during the holiday, does not apply to supermarkets, pizzerias and restaurants, as they are not considered "public."

"Chametz" refers to yeast & leavening products that are forbidden during Passover (i.e. bread, pastry, cereals).

It's sad how lost & confused many Israelis are re Jewish identity & the nature of a Jewish state. (There is nothing wrong, though, about non-Jewish stores that stay open for Passover or carry chametz products.)

This is not a Yeshiva student. Left wing newspaper trying to make all religious people sound nuts.

I have no idea if she is guilty or not.
Does she really have a chametz infection?

[MoochPooch]

You should read some of the comments on Haaretz (if you can stomach the distorted thinking).

[ryan71]

Ha! That’s what I get for looking for pictures first and not reading the story, huh?

Guess I won’t check back later...

[kalee]

How on earth is a restaurant or supermarket NOT considered public?

Bat Yams are like sweet potatoes except they are served in the Bat Cave on Batmas.

Otherwise they are the same.

He must have taken his example from the Red Hot Chili Peppers....Oy!

[Pearls Before Swine]

I’d say he has issues outside of his devoutness.

I didn't know the Red Hot Chili Peppers were Jewish.
