The national-religious community in the religious town of Elad is up in arms after two ultra-Orthodox children allegedly attacked a 10-year-old girl with extreme violence because she was holding a “not-kosher” cell phone (a smart phone open to text messages and the internet).
A young haredi woman received a most unwelcome surprise last Thursday, when a planned summer trip to Spain was derailed at the airport by a simple bureaucratic error one which turned her vacation dream into a nightmare.
Police found a 4-year-old toddler wandering alone and suffering from severe neglect in the city of Elad in central Israel on Wednesday. According to suspicions, the boy had roamed the streets for the past several days and slept in a cardboard box. The police said it was “shocking to see the toddler’s condition.”
