Stop charedi men who won’t sit next to women THE Jewish Telegraph last week had a story on three female tourists who were barred from a clifftop cable car in Israel because a group of charedi men would not share the cable car with them.

It does not matter whether it is racial or gender bigotry, it is wrong. When you buy a ticket to travel, you accept the seating arrangements — or walk. Religion has to adapt to the world we live in.
