This coming Wednesday, our city council member, the secular Rabbi Ayala Shani, will raise a series of questions before the city council regarding the legality of the Chabad movement's booth located in the mall plaza." The post was accompanied by a picture of a tefillin booth - and it was written: "The Chabad booth has been standing at the entrance to the mall for more than three years, and in complete contradiction to the municipal bylaws. It is unclear who gave it permission to stand as an obstacle in the public space, it is unclear whether the operators of the Chabad booth paid for the strategic location, which gives them accessibility to all shoppers, including students and teenagers, and most importantly - it is unclear - what were the considerations of the Givatayim municipality when it approved the placement of the booth?""

The damage it caused to the party, which is not without reason (for those who have asked me until today why...) in our opposition, can be easily seen in your numerous and unequivocal responses to the post. Have a nice day to all of us.".
