Har Nof residents are fighting the planned opening of the ‘Kan’ Broadcasting Corporation studio in Givat Shaul, near the entrance to their community fearing it will be accompanied by increased Chilul Shabbos.

Residents explain the proximity of the planned studio is the entrance to their community and the Chilul Shabbos will be felt. Jerusalem Deputy Mayor (Bnei Torah) Chaim Epstein has become involved and he has already sent a letter to the studio heads, calling upon them to seek an alternative venue that will not compromise the religious sensibilities of the community.
