Head coverings and hats for women for sale in a shop in Jerusalem on February 20, 2014.

I am surprised at the participation by the Rosh Yeshiva and Mashgiach at this gathering. I am even more surprised that here has been no reaction by them to these lies!

This is not Judaism. This is extremism at its finest. It is not much different from telling women to wear Burkas because without that – the mere fact that you can tell the person you are looking at is a woman and it will sexually arouse you. This is the rationale of the Burka Ladies in Bet Shemesh.  It is why Lev Tahor requires their women to wear Burkas.

With this kind of thinking – the next thing you know, Burkas will no longer be considered modest. After all, you know there is a woman under there. Who knows what lurks in the heart of a man when he sees that?
