Ramadan Cancels Rosh Hodesh Av March Around Old City - News Briefs - Israel National News
Now this is another thing that is absurd in this country.
Yes, this a democracy and yes, we are in theory 'rule of the majority with protection of the minority'. However, when there is a situation like this and you have two traditions which coincide then logic says that the majority rules. Not here. They are cancelling a very ancient Jewish tradition (records of this go back to the Byzantine period) of walking around the walls saying Psalms on the Eve of the New Month (Erev Rosh Hodesh). Why??? Because this month it is the same night as the beginning of Ramadan.

No one is saying don't have Ramadan, no one is saying they don't have rights, but in 22 Muslim countries around the globe, this isn't a problem. There is only one Jewish country and I'm sorry, our traditions take precedent. Assign the Muslims a specific gate and for that one night they should have to use that gate. The Jews can either start or finish at that same gate according to what the Police deem best in order to prevent altercations at the end of the Muslim prayer time.
Enough is enough, NeemUS!!!!!
