Jerusalem’s Yaar Ramot Synagogue faces ongoing harassment from Haredi extremists
Published By admin with Comments 0
One morning in early August, members of the Yaar Ramot Community in Jerusalem woke up to find fliers with the words ‘Do not be silent!’ hung in the area surrounding their synagogue, Kehilat Yaar Ramot.
These posters, addressed directly to Haredi members of the neighborhood, call for protests against the establishment of a conservative synagogue. In their minds, these protesters are banding together to remove a ‘threat’ from the neighborhood, saying that the Haredi community must do everything possible to ‘dissuade them from this path.’
“A few years ago, there was some noise that eventually died down.” Gadi Perl, who has been leading the community in this struggle, told The Jerusalem Post. Gadi recalled a conflict between the two communities during the COVID-19 pandemic when a group of Haredis attempted to claim that the synagogue was their own because it wasn’t in use.
