Halberstam sent a letter to all Haredi and religious council members, calling on them to come to a special discussion, in which they will examine ways to combat the desecration of the Sabbath that is taking place in the city.
The letter states: "In light of the news about the increasing desecration of the Sabbath in the city, which also contradicts the status quo that exists here in the city of Jerusalem, I would like to convene all members of the city council who respect the sanctity of the Sabbath, to discuss the issue and hold a joint council meeting on Sunday, the 8th of Tammuz.".
Halberstam added: "I will ask all members who have information about Sabbath desecrations to bring the data to the meeting, so that we can discuss it seriously.".
Haredim10 learned that council members from all Haredi and religious factions intend to take part in the discussion.
