Demonstration in Rosh HaAyin Against Shabbos Desecration
by A. Cohen

Hundreds of Rosh HaAyin residents held a demonstration on Shabbos Parshas Beshalach to protest against a MacDonald's restaurant open on Shabbos at a shopping mall located in the Tal neighborhood.

Hundreds of chareidi residents, led by moroh de'asra Rav A. Basis, sat out in the rain to oppose the city's first MacDonald's, which operates on Shabbos and sells bosor becholov. The protesters stood in pouring rain, singing Shabbos songs and reciting Tehillim.

At an adjacent counter-demonstration sponsored by Shinui, about thirty people sang songs to the accompaniment of recorded music played on loudspeakers.

Rosh HaAyin residents are asking that anyone in a position to act make every effort to have the restaurant closed, since it represents a dangerous precedent that threatens to tear down the wall of Shabbos in the city, chas vesholom.
