Do Haredim not participate in Memorial Day? The chairman of the Marat faction in Jerusalem, Yosef (Pepa) Ello, posted a post on his Facebook page yesterday, in which he claimed that the Haredi council members do not participate in the Memorial Day ceremonies.
""Without a doubt, because the Haredim do not participate in the memorial ceremonies, Nir Barkat must trust us," wrote Ello, about his photo at the Memorial Day ceremony at the community administration in the Valley.
But do the ultra-Orthodox really not participate in ceremonies?
Pictures that came to me Haredim10 The pictures show the chairman of the Shas faction in Jerusalem, Nati Lasri, participating in the Memorial Day ceremony of the 'Eshkolot' community administration, in the Shmuel Hanavi neighborhood. Lasri spoke at the ceremony and placed the council's wreath on the monument in memory of the fallen members of the neighborhood.
An investigation by Haredim10 shows that at the official ceremony of the Jerusalem Municipality, which took place on the morning of Memorial Day in Safra Square, most of the Haredi representatives in the municipality were present, including the Haredi deputy mayors from Shas and United Torah Judaism. Those who were absent from the main ceremony were actually the secular representatives.
