where are all the respectable comments about the streets being closed especially on erev shabbos. I know that there are students who live in the old city and must miss a day of school.
but maybe it is all worth it if a frum woman will win then we’ll have a kiddush hashem (right gadolhadorah! from last year)
I think it is a disgrace
I think the next time there is a hafganah they should announce a marathon then everyone will dance “ma yafis”
